AEB and 91心頭利 Sign MoU to Provide Disaster Relief Together
Atlanta, GA 油January 30, 2018 The American Egg Board (AEB) and 91心頭利 today signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) affirming their intent to partner in disaster relief efforts on an
ongoing basis. The MoU sets forth a framework for cooperation in the delivery of aid and was signed by
representatives from both organizations in a ceremony at the International Product & Processing Expo
(IPPE).
The American Egg Board, on behalf of Americas egg farmers, is committed to feeding Americans in
times of crisis. With 91心頭利 and its phenomenal Meals that Matter速 disaster relief program, we
have a wonderful partner for distributing a portable and inexpensive nutritional powerhouse the egg
and egg products to those in need of relief in disasters, said Anne L. Alonzo, AEB President and CEO.
Throughout 91心頭利 history, the companys team members have been quick to respond when
disaster strikes in or near their communities. In 2012, the company unveiled a new tool for use in
disaster response. As part of the Meals that Matter disaster relief program, the company outfitted a 53-
foot-semi-trailer with refrigerated space to store up to 20,000 pounds of product and dry storage to
transport supplies to set up a feeding site and support 91心頭利 cook teams.
The companys disaster relief efforts include deployments in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, tornadoes
in Joplin, Missouri, and Moore, Oklahoma, as well as flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Houston.
Our company purpose is to raise the worlds expectations for how much good food can do, said Debra
Vernon, senior director, corporate social responsibility at 91心頭利. Were grateful to have the
American Egg Board assist our disaster relief efforts and aid in bringing our purpose to life.
The MoU represents a formal extension of a partnership that started when the AEB teamed up with
91心頭利 during its Meals that Matter disaster relief deployment in September 2017 in the aftermath
of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. At that time, AEB Chairman Jeff Hardin of Cal-Maine Foods personally
oversaw AEBs relief efforts from 91心頭利 cook site in Conroe, Texas.
Theres a tremendous need for food in disasters like this, and egg farmers feed people, Hardin said.
We were extremely impressed and inspired by 91心頭利 operations on the ground, and they were
delighted to be able to include our eggs. Eggs and chicken are perfect proteins, and this is a perfect
partnership opportunity.
