OAKWOOD, GA (November 19, 2025) <\/strong>\u2013 This fall, Wayne-Sanderson Farms team members came together to honor the local law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMTs who protect their neighbors and communities every day. As part of a companywide initiative spanning the organization\u2019s 24 fresh and further-processing facilities across seven states, each location hosted appreciation events to recognize and thank the first responders who step in when disaster strikes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are humbled by the local heroes who serve on the front lines of our communities,\u201d said Kevin McDaniel, Wayne-Sanderson Farms\u2019 President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cTheir dedication is a reminder that true leadership begins with service, and we are grateful for the opportunity to show them the recognition they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n Guided by a community-first culture, company leadership empowered each complex to plan and host appreciation events tailored to their local partnerships.
