Moments of Purpose

Moments of Purpose are the stories behind what we do—how our people care, our plate nourishes, our planet thrives, and our philanthropy touches lives.

Each moment shows how we exist to help people pass love on.
Our People
In April, our Ozark, Arkansas facility sponsored Ozark High School's Signing Day. Participants were entered into a drawing to win dorm or apartment supplies donated by Butterball, including mini-fridges, TVs, microwaves, laptops, tablets and more. Providing support to the next generation of the local workforce is essential to cultivating future leaders within our community and industry.

Our Plate
 Butterball partnered with the Culinary Institute of Charleston at Trident Technical College to bring turkey innovation to the next generation of chefs. Through a donation to the program and hands-on collaborationin kitchen, students created original recipes - Hot Honey Crispy Turkey & Waffles, Southern Turkey Patties, and Turkey Egg Rolls - highlighting turkey versatility across trending menus. Butterball filmed the culinary students preparing their dishes, showcasing their creativity and giving them real-world experience and participation credits. This partnership not only supported a diverse group of second-year culinary students but also strengthened peer-to-peer learning among chefs and inspired a broader conversation around modern applications of turkey in foodservice. Filmed in the heart of Charleston's thriving hospitality scene, the initiative reflects Butterball's commitment to giving back while celebrating purpose-driven partnership that shape the future of food.

Our Planet
 As part of its ongoing community support, Butterball donates two pallets of wood shavings each month from its Turkey, North Carolina facility to the North Carolina Troopers Association Caisson Unit, which honors fallen first responders across the Southeast. The shavings provident clean, safe bedding for the unit's horses, which are housed in Stedman, N.C., and travel to funeral services in neighboring states. Maintained entirely though donations, Butterball's shaving help offset costs, as the caisson unit recieves no state funding for ceremonial services.
Philanthropy
 Each year, the Carthage Chamber of Commerce recognizes citizens and businesses for their important contributions to the community. Our Carthage, M.O. facility was presented with the Excellence in Industry Award for their active community participations, including volunteerism, donations to kids' food programs, summer camps and support of the annual Maple Leaf Festival.
