Thanks, John Morrell Employees!

Employees of John Morrell had a special delivery for United Way before the end of 2011. A check presentation of $470,964 was held. This is another record-breaking employee campaign for John Morrell, topping last year by more than $20,000! Thank you to ECM Tejay Asbury and the rest of the John Morrell volunteers and employees who contributed to this successful campaign.
