 (Kansas City, MO). As part of its national More To Share® hunger-fighting program, Cargill Meat Solutions, producers of Honeysuckle White® brand turkey products, announced that it will donate 175 turkey to City Union Mission to help feed the hungry of Kansas City during the holidays. The donation will be made in cooperation with Honeysuckle White® brand’s valued grocery partner Hy-Vee.
City Union Mission is among the 29 charities across the country to which the More To Share® program will donate Honeysuckle White® brand turkeys this year. Nationwide, the company plans to deliver more than 116,000 pounds of turkey to charities to help feed more than 400,000 people in need this holiday season.
“It is important and meaningful to us as a company to assist City Union Mission in feeding those in need who otherwise may not have turkey at Thanksgiving,” said Lorena Rull of the Honeysuckle White turkey More To Share® program. “Hunger is an ongoing problem, and charities such as City Union Mission need not only food items, but money and volunteers as well. Our donation is a starting point, and we challenge other businesses and individuals in the Kansas City area to also help fight hunger however they can.”
“We sincerely appreciate the commitment and generosity of the Honeysuckle White® turkey More to Share® program,” said Sandy Baldwin, Director of Community Relations at City Union Mission. “The demand for food from our constituents continues to grow, and this donation helps us take a step closer to meeting those needs.”
Since the More To Share® program began 11 years ago, it has donated more than one million pounds of Honeysuckle White® turkey to charities across the country. This is the eleventh consecutive year City Union Mission will receive Honeysuckle White® turkeys to help feed its constituents.
