The fourth annual Thanksgiving for All at Trinity Logistics headquarters in Seaford helped provide Thanksgiving meals to 275 local families this holiday season.
This is the fourth year Trinity has worked with Perdue Farms and the third year with the Food Bank of Delaware to help provide meals for families in need. This year, Trinity team and Food Bank members were able to box 315 meals, each containing a Perdue roaster, sides, vegetables and dessert. In 2015, Thanksgiving for All provided 250 meals to the community.
"We at Perdue believe that no one should go hungry. This is a wonderful program coordinated by Trinity Logistics that gives us the chance to make sure many of our neighbors have what they need to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is a great honor to participate in this effort," said Kim Nechay, executive director of the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation.
This is the fourth year that Trinity has partnered with Love INC., a nonprofit organization with a branch in Seaford, to find local families in need of a meal this Thanksgiving. The organization gathers information from the community, the Food Bank provides the food for the boxes and Perdue provides the roasters.
"We started this event four years ago to help our local families in need. At that time there was no event on this side of Sussex County that served the families in Trinity's community," said Jennifer Wright of Trinity Logistics. "So many local families are in need, and what better time to help them than during Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and being with family, and this allows those we help to give thanks with their families."
