Fresh plant first-shift winner Byron Butler displays the Christmas gifts he won in the employee drawings. Pilgrim's thanks Mr. Butler for his dedication as an essential worker during the pandemic. / Contributed photoSanta came early this year at Pilgrim's Chattanooga! This holiday season, Pilgrim's wanted to show appreciation to our dedicated employees by helping them purchase Christmas gifts for their children. Pilgrim's asked employees to have their children or grandchildren write a letter to Santa, and employees' names were put into a drawing to have Pilgrim's purchase their children's gift of choice up to $200.
Throughout the pandemic, Pilgrim's employees were called upon as essential workers to feed the community and without fail came to work so Chattanooga and the surrounding communities could have access to our products. Through conversations with our employees, we found that most of them needed just a little extra help with gifts this season, so Pilgrim's (with a little help from Good Ol' Saint Nick) delivered!
