Tyson Foods Inc. has granted $54,250 to the Food Bank of Iowa in order to support hunger relief in the Perry area, the company announced Thursday. The Tyson Fresh Meats plant in Perry will also begin coordinating the mobile food pantry events every other month at the Dallas County Hospital.
“We’re very grateful for Tyson’s continued support and help in providing food to our local Perry community,” said Michelle Book, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Iowa. “This donation will help our organization work toward our vision of a hunger-free Iowa.”
