For the eighth year, Ridge Springs, S.C.-based Titan Farms and Harris Teeter joined forces and donated peaches to Second Harvest Food Banks in Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.
Over those eight years, Titan Farms and Harris Teeter have continued to donate to the Peaches with a Purpose program. This year, 76,000 pounds of peaches were donated to local food banks, which is more than double last year’s donation, according to a news release.
“Every year, we are honored to partner with Harris Teeter to support our local communities,” Lori Anne Carr, vice president and administrative manager of Titan Farms, said in the release. “Fresh produce is scarce in food banks across the country, so we are grateful to be able to provide our local community members who are in need with nutritious peaches.”
Titan Farms partnered with North Carolina-based retailer Harris Teeter to create Peaches with a Purpose in order to help feed the underserved while bringing attention to the problem of food insecurity in the U.S., according to the release.
“We are proud to collaborate with Titan Farms to support local hunger relief in our local communities,” Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter, said in the release. “Together, we are supporting healthy communities.”
