U.S. Farmers Donate 6 Million Eggs During Easter and Passover Holidays: ‘Proud to Give Back’

An effort to help American families get nutritious eggs during the Easter and Passover holidays is spreading across the country.

Over 97,000 eggs donated to Feed More by Dutt and Wagner and Green Valley Poultry Farm in Virginia is only one instance in the plan to get the food to those in need, 12 On Your Side reported Thursday.

Aaron McClung, chief development officer at Feed More, said, “A lot of families out here don’t have resources, so getting together around, Easter egg hunt or, you rent a table to celebrate a nice breakfast. That’s something that a lot of us take for granted. But thanks to the American, the egg board, this donation from farmers around Virginia is gonna make a huge difference for families in need.”

According to the Incredible Egg website, the American Egg Board is leading the donation effort called the Great American Egg Drive. The website noted that so far 6,332,800 eggs have so far been donated.
