Wilcox Family Farms is continuing its heartwarming holiday tradition of donating nearly one million eggs to food banks in the area. This annual effort kicks off with a delivery to the Emergency Food Network (EFN) in Pierce County, ensuring families across Lewis, Thurston, and Pierce Counties receive fresh eggs during this critical time of year.
The Wilcox family’s commitment to community and local support drives this generous initiative. An EFN representative expressed the importance of these donations, saying, “Seventeen pallets of eggs are like gold right now.” This highlights how valuable such contributions are during the holiday season when food insecurity is often at its peak.
Longtime Wilcox driver Scotty Parker, along with family members, joined EFN staff to start the deliveries. More eggs will be sent to other partner organizations in the region, spreading support to even more families in need.
Founded in 1909, Wilcox Farms is a fifth-generation family farm based in Roy, Washington. They are dedicated to producing high-quality, sustainable products like organic and pasture-raised eggs, while actively engaging with the communities that have supported them over the years.
In a recent survey by Feeding America, 1 in 6 Americans faces hunger. Efforts like Wilcox’s are crucial in addressing these needs. By focusing on sustainability and community, Wilcox Farms not only provides food but also reinforces their commitment to serving local families.
