House of Raeford Farms, Inc., with corporate offices in Rose Hill, NC, and their employees
provided much needed assistance to thousands of individuals and families in the communities
where the company operates during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
Through House of Raeford Farms F.L.O.C.K., the company’s non-profit outreach arm, over
83,000 pounds of turkey and chicken were donated to North and South Carolina, Georgia, and
Louisiana employees, food banks, feeding programs, and a wide variety of local organizations
whose mission is to provide food and other support to those in need.
In addition, employees in four facilities held food drives to assist residents in their communities
with donations of non-perishable food items. Associates at the Rose Hill and Wallace, NC plants
as well as Nash Johnson and Sons’ Farms in Rose Hill and the Arcadia, LA plant participated in
the Angel Tree program, providing a variety of gifts for foster children and youth from low
income families. In many cases this would be the only gifts they received this Christmas.
“F.L.O.C.K. endeavors to provide guidance and care for those in need”, said Curtis Carr,
Director of Community Outreach for the company. “We try to responsibly distribute our
resources to help meet these needs with House of Raeford Farms’ associates as well as
worthwhile local organizations with likeminded objectives.”
“We are constantly amazed at the number of caring people in our communities who provide aid
to others who are less fortunate”, Carr continued. “It truly blesses us to be a partner in their
efforts.”
