CHARLOTTE — Second Harvest Food Bank received a massive donation that will help feed thousands in the community.
On Thursday, Perdue Farms donated two tractor-trailers full of frozen chicken breasts to the nonprofit.
The organization said it’s part of an effort to provide nearly 3 million meals to families across the country.
“I can’t express this enough; this is a huge blessing,” said Amy Niccolai, Executive Director of Food For Families NC in Indian Trail.
