Associates at Perdue Farms’ operation in Milford contributed $37,431 to the United Way of Delaware during a ceremony at the Perdue Milford facility. The contribution included $34,028.37 in campaign pledges by associates and a $3,403 grant funded by the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Perdue Farms.
The Perdue campaign allowed associates to use a simple payroll deduction process to individually contribute to the United Way.
“We are inspired each year by the generosity of our associates as they support the community through donations to United Way of Delaware,” said Dean Walston, director of Perdue operations in Milford. “At Perdue, our associate teams reflect our company value of stewardship within the community”.
In accepting the contribution, United Way of Delaware’s Vice President for Resource Development and Strategic Partnerships John Moore said, “We are so proud of the great collaboration we have with Perdue. Working together we are positively impacting thousands of people who need help the most and together we are transforming dark todays into brighter tomorrows.
