Chicken Farmers of Ontario and Yorkshire Valley Farms combined to donate 1,400 kilograms of chicken to the Huron County Food Bank distribution center.
Yorkshire is an organic chicken company.
On hand were Ontario Agriculture Minister Lisa Thompson,
whose home riding is Huron County, and federal Member of Parliament, Ben Lobb,
who also represents the riding.
Andrea Veldhuisen, the local chicken board director, noted
that the board has been making food bank donations since 2015.
On behalf of the clients who
receive the gifts of meat, thank you for your care and compassion, said Mary Ellen Zielman, executive director, Huron
Country Food Bank Distribution.
“Your support will accomplish amazing
things! Together we can eliminate hunger!”
