Lockheed Martin gives 16,000 meals to nonprofits after food contractor loses business
Lockheed Martin will deliver about 4,000 meals a week for the next month to community organizations in Fort Worth, the company said on Wednesday.
The company’s food service contractor, Compass, had to lay off employees because of the significant drop in demand for meals as people transitioned into working from home.
Instead, Lockheed has kept its food order, which will help keep eight to 10 Compass workers employed.
Lockheed will use those meals to serve the Presbyterian Night Shelter, Salvation Army and (beginning in May) Union Gospel Mission.
