SALISBURY, Md. — Perdue Farms has teamed up with Feeding America to tackle the heightened food insecurity challenge that further impacts families with an extra day this Leap Year. To do this, the company will deliver more than 90 tractor trailer loads of its No Antibiotics Ever chicken across the U.S., providing 3.3 million pounds of chicken, or roughly 2.75 million servings.
Nearly 44 million people, including 13 million children, experience food insecurity in the U.S. Because Leap Year includes an extra day on Thursday, Feb. 29, it also poses an extra day for people facing hunger. . .
