MONTGOMERY, AL - Tyson Foods is donating 80,000 pounds of frozen chicken to those facing food insecurity in the Montgomery, Alabama community. The amount is equivalent to 320,000 servings of protein. Tyson is committed to giving back to local communities and our neighbors in need. The event takes place Saturday, May 13, 2023, from 8-11 AM CT at the Union Street Trainshed (210 Water St, Montgomery, AL 36104), and coincides with the Black College World Series (BCWS) Presented by Tyson Foods.
The donations will be distributed through two drive-thru lines at the Union Station Train Shed. Residents are asked to remain in their vehicles while volunteers place the donation inside.
