RIDGE SPRING, SC - Make way for the 11th annual Peaches with a Purpose campaign! Titan Farms has announced the launch of the campaign across all North Carolina Harris Teeter stores, donating a percentage of peach sales to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte, North Carolina. This year, Titan Farms will contribute directly by donating a truckload of fresh peaches totaling 37,800 pounds.
"At Titan Farms, we are honored to continue our support for the Peaches with a Purpose campaign alongside Harris Teeter,” Chalmers Carr, Chief Executive Officer and President, expressed. “Our donation of fresh peaches will provide nutritious meals to those in need throughout North Carolina, and we are particularly grateful to Salem Transportation for their generous contribution in transporting this donation to the food bank.”
