Mastronardi Produce Donates 30,000 lbs of Produce to Oklahoma Relief Efforts
Mastronardi Produce, by means of Forgotten Harvest in Detroit, Michigan, has donated a full 30,000 lb., truckload of greenhouse produce to support the ongoing relief efforts in Moore, Oklahoma. Forgotten Harvest and Mastronardi put their heads together the day after the hurricane to determine how the greenhouse-grower could help. Once Mastronardi heard that the relief efforts in Oklahoma had begun looking for fresh food, the company jumped at the chance to offer support.
“We are glad to help the residents of Moore, Oklahoma by providing fresh vegetables during this very difficult time, our hearts go out to the thousands of people in that community,” commented Paul Mastronardi, President.
A caravan of 10 trailer loads of food departed from Forgotten Harvest in Detroit at 6am Wednesday with its sights set on Oklahoma to help with the various tornado relief efforts, according to the press release.
"Forgotten Harvest and our community partners are committed to aiding the Oklahoma tornado victims," said Susan Goodell, President & CEO of Forgotten Harvest. "The response from the public so far has been wonderful and Metro Detroiters are once again pulling together to come to the aid of those in need."
As the industry rallies around the efforts, those looking to offer their assistance to Forgotten Harvest with donations to send to Oklahoma can call 888-332-7140.
