Huntington Meats Back-to-School - School Supply Drive for Union Rescue Mission with Jim Cascone

“There’s just something about new school supplies that helps kids get excited about learning, and Huntington Meats is again doing their part to make sure all children experience that excitement as the new school year kicks off in August. Huntington Meats' sister shop Farmers Market Poultry will also be participating in the drive.”“For the second year in a row, the two shops offering quality meat and poultry products are coming together to participate in their Back-to-School School Supply Drive to take place the entire month of July. The goal is to collect enough supplies for 350 kids for distribution to the Union Rescue Mission in Downtown LA.”“Customers that visit either of the shops and donate new, unused school supplies valued at $10 or more will receive a complimentary pound of ground beef or homemade sausages from Huntington Meats, or a pound of ground chicken or ground turkey from Farmers Market Poultry.” “Having worked with Union Rescue Mission previously with other projects, we feel this was another way for Huntington Meats and Farmers Market Poultry to give back to the kids, this time providing them with some of the tools they need to excel in school this year,” said Jim Cascone, proprietor of both Huntington Meats and Farmers Market Poultry. “We forget that some kids may never have started school with brand new school supplies, which was something many of us took for granted growing up.”“The shops are located at The Original Farmers Market, 6333 W. 3rd Street, Los Angeles 90036. Huntington Meats is located at Stall 350 and Farmers Market Poultry is located at Stall 216.”Jim Cascone, a distinguished butcher and expert in sausage making, joins us to provide information on how our listeners can contribute.
