Eckrich, Dollar General Partner for Food Relief

In the aftermath of the deadly tornadoes last month in and around Moore, Okla., Eckrich and Dollar General have teamed up to provide much-needed meals to those impacted by the devastating storms.

In late May, representatives from Eckrich (part of Smithfield Foods’ John Morrell Food Group) and Dollar General distributed more than 170 pounds of free Eckrich smoked sausages and hot dogs, chips and drinks to area residents. The food was grilled up and handed out in front of a Dollar General store that was in the direct path of the tornado, but spared.

More information about Eckrich and its community outreach efforts that include this and other donations of time and products cam be found online.
