Cargill supports hunger relief in US

Rebecca Prescott22 Nov 2011

This Thanksgiving, over 900 Memphis area families in need will receive food for their holiday meal thanks to the Memphis Community Food Basket Initiative. This is the 17th year Cargill is leading the initiative.

The initiative brings together local companies, government agencies and nonprofit organisations to create and deliver food baskets for families in need.

This Thanksgiving, more than 200 volunteers will spend six days packaging and distributing baskets in the greater Memphis (US) area.

Ruth Banks, leader of the Memphis Community Food Basket Initiative and marine tower operator at Cargill’s Corn Milling facility in Memphis, said: “On average, there are four people in each family we reach out to. This initiative is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and make a real difference for those most in need this season.”
