More than 12,000 pounds of chicken has been donated to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana through Goshen-based Miller Poultry and Martin’s Super Markets.

Marijo Martinec, the Executive Director and CEO of the Food Bank says they’re humbled by the longtime partnership with Martin’s and Miller who are committed to helping them feed hungry neighbors in northern Indiana and spread joy to those who need it most during the holidays.

“On behalf of all Miller Poultry team members and the farm families in Michiana, we appreciate the opportunity to partner with our hometown Martin’s Super Markets and SpartanNash in this chicken donation,” said Galen Miller, owner, and CEO of Miller Poultry. “We appreciate participating in the success of this project over the years and particularly during this time of upheaval caused by the pandemic and other current challenges. Chicken is a primary protein in our diet, and we are grateful to our team members and retail grocery partners in helping to supply this premium chicken protein to those in need this time of year.”

We are proud of our long association with Miller Poultry and the Food Bank of Northern Indiana,” said Chris Haygood, Principal, Retail Merchandising, Martin’s Super Markets. The need in our community is at an all-time high and this donation will go a long way in providing the nourishment that is vital to families in our community this holiday season and beyond.”
