HEREFORD based poultry firm, Cargill, has committed to providing free fresh chicken to an organisation tackling hunger in the UK.
Cargill has agreed to supply FareShare, a U.K-based organisation fighting hunger by tackling food waste, with fresh chicken every week, free of charge.
The agreement will help FareShare grow its capacity to redistribute even more food to communities in need in the South West of England.
Cargill has partnered with FareShare since 2009 by providing more than £600,000 in funding to help the charity address food waste and turn an environmental problem into a social solution.
Chris Hall, general manager for the Fresh Chicken Business at Cargill, said: "By setting up a fresh chicken supply chain, Cargill is helping FareShare provide communities with access to a steady supply of safe, nutritious and affordable food."
Cargill began supplying in mid-June into the FareShare Regional Centre in Bristol.
