Cars line up for miles in Hanover as Tyson Foods offers food donations, jobs [View all]
Bacon, sausage links, tortillas and more: Tyson Foods in Hanover gave away 36,000 pounds of food on Saturday, Oct. 9.
The event was a roaring success. Willie Walker, a training specialist who’s been with Tyson Foods for fifteen years, told 8News, “The sheriff’s department did come by – you know, we had so much traffic and people that were on the road that he wanted us to get going.”
The event took place at Debbie’s Kitchen, a local restaurant in Glen Allen. Large pallets of food were unloaded in the gravel parking lot, with Tyson employees in reflective safety vests handing food to drivers.
Alan King is a Henrico resident who attended the event.
He said he’d like to see other companies put on similar events, especially after they see the success of this one, “If there’s other sponsors out here that can hear me, this is something that y’all need to start doing, to help our community.”
