Since last March, House of Raeford Farms has provided $120,000 to non-profit organizations through
partnerships supporting their consumer truckload and preorder chicken sales. These relationships are
continuing into 2021 as the company continues to offer fresh, great-tasting chicken to the public via
online sales.
Partner organizations provide parking space for the truck at pickup locations, and often arrange volunteers to
load customer vehicles. Churches, schools, volunteer fire departments, athletic programs, and others
receive a percentage of the sales depending on their level of involvement. During November and
December, the nationally recognized Marine Toys for Tots Foundation benefitted from a series of events
in eastern North Carolina.
The community truckload sales originally started as a way to offer low cost chicken to the public when
poultry was in short supply in retail stores. “It also helped House of Raeford support their farmers and
employees by continuing production as sales decreased when restaurants and other foodservice outlets
closed due to coronavirus safeguards,” said Bob Johnson, CEO of House of Raeford. “It has been a
blessing to hear consumers express appreciation of the company’s outreach to communities across the
southeast. This certainly reinforces the mission of House of Raeford.”
