This meal is part of the ongoing Carando Cares program, an initiative which supports organizations that are making a positive difference in local communities. The hundreds in attendance were served a feast of Carando premium hams, green beans, oven roasted potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and chocolate chip cookies.
With its production facility located in nearby Springfield, Mass., Carando has directly seen the displays of valor and selflessness that Barnes Air National Guard Base Airmen have made. The company wanted to share some holiday cheer with its hometown heroes who protect the nation's freedom.
"We can never take for granted all of the sacrifices that our military makes for us," said Michael J. Sargent, Smithfield Foods senior brand manager. "It is truly an honor to serve these individuals who have served us. This meal is just our way of saying 'thank you' for all of their dedication and the sacrifices they have made for our country."
Carando Cares has made more than $250,000 in monetary and in-kind donations since the program’s inception in 2013. For more information about Carando and Carando Cares, please visit www.carando.com or www.Facebook.com/CarandoMeats.
