Kosher Producer Agri Star Donates 20,000 lbs of Meat to OK Tornado Victims

VosIzNeias reports:
New York - In the wake of yesterday’s devastating tornado in Oklahoma, a major kosher meat distributor is donating twelve pallets of meat products to disaster victims.
Agri Star Meat and Poultry has 20,000 pounds of meat and poultry ready to be shipped to Oklahoma City. Agri Star is working in conjunction with Masbia to raise the necessary funds to transport the meat to its intended destination, Chabad of Oklahoma City.
“We are sending a variety of foods as per the request of Rabbi Goldman, the local Chabad rabbi,” Jo-Ann Chadbourne of Agri Star told VIN News. “We are sending rapid prep foods including deli, chicken nuggets, beef patties, hot dogs and other items that can be distributed quickly to tornado victims. Providing some sort of relief is the least we can do and we are privileged to be able to help in any way we can.”
Masbia has undertaken the task of raising the $3,000 needed to transport the donated items from Agri Star’s Postville, Iowa plant to Oklahoma City and is urging the public to contribute funds to defray the cost of transportation. Donations can be made at https://www.wepay.com/donations/519048913
“Food is most essential to victims of disaster,” explained Alexander Rapaport, Executive Director of Masbia. “We found during our on the ground Sandy relief work that the victims need food, the first responders need food and the volunteers need food. I cannot ever forget those smiles on their faces when we arrived with food.”
While the most urgently needed items at the moment in the tornado ravaged area are water, toiletries, baby items, cash and gift cards to stores such as Walmart, Target and Sam’s Club, the Agri Star donation will be a major boon to area residents, according to Rabbi Ovadia Goldman of Chabad of Oklahoma City, located approximately twenty miles from the devastation, who is working with local officials on the relief effort.

I applaud the generosity of this man!!! G-d bless him and May his Agri Star business be Blessed Abundantly.
 
Makes perfect sense to me.

The front half of the cow goes to needy people, and the back half of the cow ALWAYS goes to Washington, D.C.
 
I applaud the generosity of this man!!! G-d bless him and May his Agri Star business be Blessed Abundantly.

:clap2:

And Walmart is making donations of cash and materials equal to $1 million.

Walmart is also sending truckloads of food, water and other basic items to serve as immediate aid. :clap2:

Wait a minute. Is this the SAME Walmart that the leftists LOATHE?

The Wal Mart that underpays it's workers, sells stuff made in China, forces small businesses into bankruptcy, and is the model of capitalism?

Walmart ALWAYS does great things in the surrounding communities, and they get no props for all the charity work they do.

CHEERS for Walmart, our family's favorite retailer!
 
This is a great example of the positive roll of Civil Society!
 
One of the Oklahoma Thunder basketball team has donated a million also, as did many other people and companies, a great big hug and thank you from this Okies heart.
 
Way to go, Walmart! That is great news, Athena!

Yes it is, Jeri. :) Private citizens and corporations working together to help humankind.

"The world's largest retailer said no customers or employees were injured in its two stores in Moore. But the company said some workers' homes were destroyed and that it is still checking on the needs of its employees.

"The company is sending workers from Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas to the affected areas so members of Oklahoma crews can be with their families." :clap2:
