HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Tyson Foods announced it will donate 30,000 pounds of prepared chicken products during a special giveaway on Saturday in Hutchinson.
On Saturday between 9 a.m. and noon, residents can receive a donation of food from Tyson at the Uptown Hutch Mall. Those receiving assistance will be able to drive through to pick up their food.
Tyson officials say a single donation will amount to about 25 pounds of food. And for people who may be looking for a job, the company will also have personnel on-hand to answer any questions you may have about potential employment. Tyson recently raised its starting hourly wage at its two area plants from $15.20 per hour to $16.85.
The plants, which employ around 575 workers total, are looking for about 80 employees in both operations and maintenance at this time.
