At Pilgrim’s, we value the important role we play in the communities where our team members live and work. We understand the responsibility that comes with being a major employer in rural communities, and we work hard to contribute to the well-being of these communities by volunteering our time, donating product, sponsoring local events and teams, and providing gainful employment opportunities.
In 2021, our facilities continued to serve their local communities through numerous sponsorships, volunteer efforts, fundraisers and donations. Across Europe, Mexico and the U.S., Pilgrim’s supported a variety of organizations, including the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Boys and Girls Clubs, Teletón, Bright Futures and FareShare—as well as local learning institutions, such as public schools, colleges and universities.
