Pilgrim's is continuing to make good on their promise to support the future of the local community. In November, the company announced they would be investing $685,000 in Lufkin through Pilgrim's Hometown Strong program. Recently, leadership at Pilgrim’s has been working with local leaders to determine where the funds could best help meet immediate and longer-term community needs. Pilgrims via Facebook Pilgrim's has announced that in partnership with Kurth Primary School and the Lufkin Independent School District, they will provide $30,000 to purchase 25 picnic tables for outdoor eating areas to improve social distancing capabilities while at school, especially during lunch. “As the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, I’m pleased that Pilgrim’s can help students stay safe at school by making it easier to social distance while getting some fresh air,” said Christian Dempsey, Pilgrim’s Lufkin complex manager. “This is an important investment in the health and safety of many of our Lufkin team members’ families and the greater community.”
