Christmas is a time of giving, and that is exactly what we partnered up with Rantoul High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes for. Each year they host a free community dinner for those in need of a warm meal for a cold holiday evening. Sliced Pork Loin is exactly what everyone needs to fill their tummies and feel the warm & cheery Christmas spirit.

We have recently partnered with Rantoul High School and their FFA Program. We love the idea of encouraging young adults to join the agriculture industry in their path of finding a career. One of the most exciting times for these young adults is the FFA Jacket Ceremony. Many children cannot afford the jackets, as the are expensive. We did not want any child to feel excluded and discourage them from their passion in the agriculture industry. Rantoul Foods purchased a jacket for every student at Rantoul High School that is in FFA!! We are hoping to continue this as a tradition!
