The Leesburg company known for their duck products has helped with hunger relief throughout 2020.

In a release on Monday, the company announced that it has donated more than 25 tons of poultry products to Indiana food banks and pantries in an effort to help hunger-relief organizations serve a continuous need in the state.

In addition to donating food to local charities like the Milford Food Bank, Maple Leaf Farms also made direct contributions to charities feeding frontline workers who were working tirelessly to combat the pandemic and food industry staff furloughed due to various stay-at-home orders.

Most recently, Maple Leaf Farms partnered with the Kosciusko County Farm Bureau to make a matching donation to Combined Community Services. In total, the organizations provided more than 5,000 portions of high-quality poultry products, helping to fill Combined Community Services’ new walk-in freezer.
