DECATUR, AL (July 23, 2026) <\/strong>\u2013 Wayne-Sanderson Farms\u2019 Decatur Prepared Foods Complex announced it recently raised $155,100 for the American Cancer Society (ACS).<\/p>\n

The fundraising total is the culmination of a yearlong effort by facility team members, community volunteers, and corporate partners.

“The generosity of our workforce, growers, and local partners continues to redefine what is possible when we come together for a common cause,\u201d said Heath Loyd, Vice President, Regional Operations for Wayne-Sanderson Farms. \u201cReaching this milestone ensures that the American Cancer Society receives critical resources to support families navigating a diagnosis, and our team is grateful to everyone who contributed to this campaign\u2019s success.”<\/p>\n

The partnership with the American Cancer Society reflects the complex’s commitment to community engagement. By combining employee volunteerism with large-scale events, the facility continues to support organizations working to improve health and well-being in the region.<\/p>\n
