Perdue Farms is sending truckloads of food and the Perdue Chicken Food Truck to the Carolinas after the devastation left by Hurricane Florence.
CEO Randy Day said that the loss by thousands of Carolinians many of whom are associated with Perdue has been devastating.
Perdue is expected to provide around a half million pounds of food amounting to 416-thousand meals to the local food banks in the region.
In addition, the company is sending its Perdue food truck to Lumberton, North Carolina to provide much needed meals for the victims and first responders.
The Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation will also donate $250-thousand to the American Red Cross chapter in the region.
