Farmland Foods presented $20,000 to Harvesters – The Community Food Network on Friday as part of an expanding effort by the company to raise awareness of hunger issues around the country. The donation is a first step toward Farmlands yearlong goal of raising $100,000 for Harvesters. The announcement follows more than $60,000 in donations in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Fontana, Calif., earlier this year as part of Farmlands partnership with Richard Petty Motorsports to promote hunger awareness in race communities. In addition to the $20,000, 43 cases of Farmland Oven Perfect were donated in honor of the #43 Ford made famous by Richard Petty. Oven Perfect is new, fresh pork tenderloin that is already marinated, seasoned and ready to cook right in the package. This easy-to-prepare meal will help to ensure families, children and seniors in the Kansas City area have access to much-needed protein. Richard Petty, legendary racecar driver and team owner, and Aric Almirola, driver of the #43 Ford, have helped present the checks with Farmland in each of the four communities.(RPM/Farmland Foods)
