In November 2020, Pilgrim’s announced a $685,000 investment in Lufkin, Texas, to support the community’s future through the company’s Hometown Strong program. Pilgrim’s has been working with local leaders to determine where the funds could best help meet immediate and longer-term community needs. In partnership with Kurth Primary School and the Lufkin Independent School District, Pilgrim’s today announced it will provide $30,000 to purchase 25 picnic tables for outdoor eating areas to improve social distancing capabilities while at school, especially during lunch.
