Tyson Foods, Inc. (www.tyson.com) is stepping up in a big way to help supply more than 3.2 million meals for Texas and Gulf Coast residents affected by recent hurricanes. Twenty-six truckloads of Tyson chicken and pork are headed south to restock food banks in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi during the next four days. As a part of the company’s ongoing commitment to hunger relief with Feeding America, formerly known as America’s Second Harvest, Tyson Team Members have coordinated this caravan of goodwill. The first 15 of 26 tractor trailers left Arvest Ballpark Thursday in a convoy that, in total, will deliver more than 3.2 million meals for those in need.
