Snohomish TOP Food & Drug and Smart Chicken Donate 1,110 Pounds of Chicken to Food Bank
Snohomish TOP Food & Drug and Smart Chicken have partnered to donate 1,110 pounds of organic chicken breasts to the Snohomish Community Food Bank.
The organic chicken, which has a retail value of approximately $7,600, is an ideal source for protein for families who rely on the food bank, according to Daryl Bertholet, its executive director.
“During the course of providing produce to the Snohomish Community Food Bank each week, we’ve learned more about its critical role in serving local families in need,” said Tim Peppers, store manager of Snohomish TOP Food & Drug. “Since the community’s response to our store’s extensive renovation project last year has been so positive, our company was convinced that Snohomish’s food bank should receive this donated chicken.”
The donation from MBA Poultry, producer of Smart Chicken products (www.smartchicken.com), is part of its Smart Giving program and was based on sales at TOP Food & Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy stores.
