APG Polytech's Long-term Community Program
In 2018, FENC acquired APG Polytech in West Virginia, U.S. The plant has been operating for 61 years prior to the acquisition, and has formed a strong bond with the local community with long-term support.
Many children from the local community had long dreamt of becoming farmers. APG Polytech helped make this dream a reality. These children received the opportunity to care for a farm, and sell produce and meat products. The proceeds are then used towards their education.
Whenever APG Polytech has the opportunity, the plant donates food to Crosslight of Hope, a community NGO that provides assistance to local families in need. In 2020, APG Polytech donated over 135 kilograms of food and a brand new refrigerator. Additionally, the plant donated money, sportswear and toys to local schools, sports teams and children, and provided USD$1,000 in scholarship each for 8 college students, co-creating a better community.
