Wilcox Family Farms is continuing its holiday tradition of donating nearly one million eggs to food banks across the region, according to a news release from the company.
Starting with a delivery to Emergency Food Network (EFN) in Pierce County, the Wilcox team is helping ensure families across Lewis, Thurston and Pierce Counties have access to fresh, nutritious eggs during a time of year when need is especially high.
This annual give-back effort is rooted in the Wilcox family’s long-standing values: community, stewardship and a deep commitment to staying local, the news release stated.
“We believe fundamentally that food is home,” said an EFN representative. “Seventeen pallets of eggs are like gold right now.”
Longtime Wilcox driver Scotty Parker and members of the Wilcox family personally joined EFN staff to help deliver the first round of eggs. From there, deliveries will continue to additional partner organizations throughout the region.
Wilcox Farms is a fifth-generation family farm located in Roy, Washington. Founded in 1909, Wilcox is committed to producing high-quality, sustainable farm products — including organic, cage-free and pasture-raised eggs — while serving the communities that helped build them.
