Our Community

Whether through decades of financial donations from the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation and Perdue Farms, or the generosity of our associates through personal financial giving and volunteerism in support of causes that matter to them, our communities, and the company, our collective efforts represent hope. 
 

Giving back has long been a part of the Perdue Farms culture. That tradition continues through our “Delivering Hope To Our Neighbors®” outreach to improve quality of life and build strong communities where we live and work, and beyond. 
 

One of our key pillars through which we deliver hope in communities is our work to alleviate hunger and food insecurity. As a food company, we are uniquely positioned to help thousands of Americans experiencing food insecurity. Through collaborative partnerships, our nutritious protein donations help struggling individuals and families put meals on their tables, especially during difficult economic times. 
 

Since 2000, Perdue Farms has partnered with Feeding America® and its nationwide network of food banks to help neighbors in our communities who are struggling with food insecurity. Through 2024, we have delivered nearly 107 million pounds of protein to regional food banks serving our communities – the equivalent of almost 89 million meals. Perdue Farms was one of the first meat companies to implement a formal program of ongoing donations of perishable protein products, creating a model for other companies to follow. 
 

In 2025, as part of Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month in September, Perdue Farms launched Fill the Food Gap to address the growing crisis of food insecurity. The effort included the donation of 800,000 pounds of protein to 10 local food banks along the East Coast, the equivalent of more than 660,000 meals.
