Mountaire Donates Food and Volunteers to Help Those Impacted by Hurricane Laura in Louisiana
A team of Mountaire employees helped people in the Lake Charles, Louisiana, area hard hit recently by Hurricane Laura. The company sent 40,000 pounds of chicken to assist Operation BBQ Relief, a non-profit group of competitive barbecue chefs that deploy to disaster areas to provide hot meals.
The Mountaire Cares team has been on the ground at a site set up in Lake Charles, an area that was pummeled by 130-150 mph winds as the storm came ashore. Power lines littered the highways while homes became uninhabitable after trees toppled on them and roofs were ripped off.
