Vital Farms is teaming up with food banks across the country to provide more than 19 million eggs to families in need. Local partners include: Central Texas Food Bank, Southwest Missouri’s Ozarks Food Harvest, South Atlantic grocery retailer Harris Teeter and Northern Illinois Food Bank.
Pasture-raised egg donations provide a protein-packed food staple during a time of year when egg donations are in demand. “Vital Farms is honored to work with food banks to help make holiday meals possible for thousands of families,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, president and CEO of Vital Farms.
As one of the largest U.S. egg brands by retail dollar sales, Vital Farms says it is committed to promoting sustainable communities. “Giving back is one way for us to be involved with and strengthen the communities we’re a part of,” said Shep Kowalski, the company’s brand manager.
Recently, Vital Farms crew members distributed food for holiday meals, including the eggs the company donated, at a distribution location for the Central Texas Food Bank in the company’s hometown of Austin, Texas.
Vital Farms, a Certified B Corp, offers pasture-raised products, including shell eggs, butter, hard-boiled eggs, ghee and liquid whole eggs, which are sold in approximately 13,000 stores nationwide.
