A few months ago,  somewhere between Arkansas and Pennsylvania, Zane Frost became the youngest Tyson Foods truck driver to reach 100,000 safe miles.

Zane, who I first wrote about last year, became the youngest over-the-road driver ever at Tyson Foods when he joined the company at age 21. He trained under the supervision of his father Lloyd Frost and the pair hit the road as team drivers.  Since he has  a young family , Zane recently switched to a local route and he’s making company history again as the youngest shuttle driver in the fleet’s history.

Helping to feed the world is an awesome responsibility that I take very seriously.

That’s why food safety, and how we can constantly improve, is at the very top of my mind each day when I come to work at Tyson. And I know I’m not alone.

Tyson employs more than 2,700 food safety and quality assurance team members who are focused not only on making sure we produce safe food every day, but also on continuously improving the systems, processes and technologies we use to do it. They work alongside on-site federal inspectors who also verify the safety of our products. 

In 2015, we set a goal to invest $50 million for hunger relief by 2020. We’re proud to announce that we met and exceeded that goal early by giving $60 million to fight hunger in just four years. But we can’t solve hunger alone.

On this #GivingTuesday, join us in supporting the hunger heroes who make a difference in their communities every day. Heroes like Jonathan Lawler, a produce farmer in Indiana who has dedicated his life to helping others. Visit Brandywine Creek Farms to support his mission.
