MILLEN, GA - Supporting its community is one of the cornerstones of Southeast Produce Council’s (SEPC) mission, and that is perfectly reflected through its partnership with Palmer Home for Children. Each year, the association participates in the nonprofit’s Radiothon, in which listeners from across the state of Mississippi and beyond tune in to hear stories and guest interviews.
“I have always heard that if you make the world better for kids then you make it better for everyone. Our relationship with the Palmer Home is a true testament to that phrase,” remarked David Sherrod, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southeast Produce Council. “Over the years of our partnership, we have witnessed the fruition of plans becoming a reality through their new Wellness Center and the Hope Grows Garden. We couldn’t be more excited to see how God continues to work through the Palmer Home in the lives of the children and families they serve.”
According to a press release, SEPC’s participation is part of the association’s SEPC Cares initiative, which issued a $25,000 matching gift challenge during Palmer Home’s 11th Annual Radiothon. Sherrod spent his time on the air promoting the many facets of their partnership.
SEPC congratulated the Palmer Home for Children on reaching and exceeding the monetary goal of the event. Overall, the nonprofit raised more than $367,558 for vulnerable children.
Palmer Home for Children is a privately funded, faith-based organization that has provided care to vulnerable children for more than 128 years. SEPC is grateful to its members for their continued support of this nonprofit.
