GEORGETOWN, Del. — Through community sales at churches, fire halls and community centers, Delmarva's chicken companies acted quickly to provide 2.4 million pounds of chicken — enough chicken for 9.4 million meals — directly to Delmarva's families this spring during the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, Delmarva's five chicken companies donated 1 million pounds of chicken to food banks and aid organizations, enough to make 4 million meals. Recipients of the donations included the Maryland Food Bank, Food Bank of Delaware, Beebe Healthcare and Foodbank of Southeast Virginia and the Eastern Shore.
