Hickman’s Egg Delivery
As more people are depending on United Food Bank for food, the need for nutritious food items is increasing.  Thanks to Hickman’s Family Farms, those in need throughout Maricopa, Pinal, Gila, Apache and Navajo counties will be receiving protein-rich eggs—43,200 to be “eggs-act.”

“The Hickman Family has always been a supporter of the food banks in Arizona,” commented Bob Evans, President and CEO of United Food Bank.  “Each year they make a very generous donation of eggs so that we can make sure people in Maricopa County as well as other areas of the state can receive much needed protein.  This year, our Board of Directors will be on hand to accept delivery.”

Who:          Gertie Hickman, matriarch of Hickman family, and the Hickman mascot, Funky Chicken, will present the UFB Board of Directors with a donation of eggs for those in need.

When:        Friday, March 27, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.

What:          First shipment of donated eggs from Hickman’s Family Farms

Where:        United Food Bank warehouse dock, 358 E. Javelina Avenue, Mesa

Visual:        Presentation of egg donation will take place during the Help Yourself food box purchase program when families will be lining up to get food. 

Hickman mascot, Funky Chicken, will be helping deliver the eggs to the Board of Directors.

Note:          This is first donation delivery of more than 290,000 Hickman’s Eggs that will be delivered to food banks in the state throughout the next week.
