Workers at ITS Plant in South Baltimore will process 100 million pounds of chicken each year, and now, Holly Poultry is sending a semi-truck stacked full of meat south to help the victims of Hurricane Ian.
“We do business up and down the East Coast and have some really big customers in Florida,” said CEO Zach Fine. “And when we heard of the devastation that really came out of nowhere in the Fort Myers area, we said, ‘Hey, we have the number one resource in food and let’s jump in and help.’”
The shipment consists of 25,000 pounds of chicken, which is enough to feed 78,000 people, along with several pallets of drinking water.
The company has customers and some of its workers on the ground in Florida to help with the delivery.
