"Powering the Spirit" Sack Lunch Events

Over 2,000 sack lunches were prepared, packaged and delivered by volunteers from Cedar Valley Community Support Services, the Northeast Iowa Food Bank and Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. to offices throughout the Cedar Valley in April, July and September. These lunches were preordered and purchased by groups to raise funds to end childhood hunger in the Cedar Valley. Each lunch ($6.00) included: a shredded pork sandwich (precooked meat ready to reheat in the microwave), a piece of fruit, a pasta salad, a cookie and a bottle of water. Over $12,000 was raised with these events.

If you are interested in being on the order mailing distribution list please e-mail andrea.sherwood@tyson.com to receive the next order form.
