Harris Teeter and Titan Farms launch 11th year of Peaches with a Purpose campaign
Matthews, N.C. (July 31, 2024) – Harris Teeter and Titan Farms are thrilled to launch the 11th year of the Peaches with a Purpose campaign throughout all North Carolina stores to help feed the local community. From now until August 13, Titan Farms will donate a percentage of all peaches purchased at a North Carolina Harris Teeter location to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte, N.C. The donation will be in the form of fresh peaches directly from Titan Farms, based out of South Carolina. This campaign has donated more than 380,000 pounds of peaches over the last eleven years.
Titan Farms, the largest peach grower on the East Coast, created Peaches with a Purpose to help feed the under-served while bringing attention to the problem of food insecurity. Through the partnership between Titan Farms and Harris Teeter, the two companies donated more than 380,000 pounds of peaches over the last eleven years. The donations wouldn’t have been possible without Salem Transportation, which donates the company’s time and resources to transport the donation to the food back each year.
“We want to thank Titan Farms for supporting local hunger relief efforts and for allowing us to be a part of this program consistently,” said Danna Robinson, director of corporate affairs for Harris Teeter. “Fresh produce is scarce in food banks across the country, and we are happy to be able to contribute nutritious items to those in need.”
The peach donation will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, which serves a total of 24 counties in North Carolina and South Carolina.
"Each year, we proudly collaborate with Harris Teeter to uplift our local communities," said Chalmers Carr, CEO and President of Titan Farms. "Access to fresh produce is crucial for food banks nationwide, and we are privileged to supply our neighbors in need with nutritious peaches."
Founded in 1999 by Chalmers and Lori Anne Carr, Titan Farms is a premier grower, packer and shipper of fresh peaches and vegetables. With core values focused on producing the highest quality produce in the market, you are sure to take home the freshest produce they have available. Today, Titan Farms is the largest peach grower on the east coast, with over 6,200 acres of peaches, 600 acres of bell peppers, 1,000 acres of broccoli and 36 acres of eggplant. Titan Farms is a family-run operation, including long-time employees who have become part of their Titan family.
