Thanksgiving for Thousands

Meals for Thousands

We’ve served more than a million meals to people in need

Mountaire’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter for Thousands programs have been feeding needy families on Delmarva for over 25 years. In North Carolina, our programs have been in place for more than a decade. We partner with area churches, food banks, and other groups to serve families a complete family feast, ready to cook and just in time for the holidays. Each box contains a Mountaire roaster chicken and all the fixings for a wholesome meal.

None of it would be possible without the support of the community, as hundreds of volunteers show up each holiday to help us pack boxes. Over the years, we’ve developed a volunteer network that includes thousands of employees, organizations, and neighbors across our communities.
