House of Raeford on Tuesday announced it has provided $120,000 to non-profit organizations through partnerships supporting their consumer truckload and preorder chicken sales since March 2020.
Partner organizations provide parking space for the trucks at designated pickup locations and often arrange volunteers to load product into customers’ vehicles. Churches, schools, volunteer fire departments, athletic programs, and others receive a percentage of the sales depending on their level of involvement. In November and December, the nationally recognized Toys for Tots Foundation benefited from a series of such events in eastern North Carolina.
The sales started as a way to offer affordable chicken products to the public when retail supplies were low. “It also helped House of Raeford support their farmers and employees by continuing production as sales decreased when restaurants and other foodservice outlets closed due to coronavirus safeguards,” House of Raeford CEO Bob Johnson said. “It has been a blessing to hear consumers express appreciation of the company’s outreach to communities across the southeast. This certainly reinforces the mission of House of Raeford.”
