Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta recently received donations from Henning Companies, the Anderson family and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) during the International Poultry Expo, part of the 2025 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), in Atlanta. The IPPE is the world’s largest annual trade show for the poultry, egg, animal food and meat industries.

Henning Companies and the Anderson family each presented a check in the amount of $2,500 to Melisa Morrow, development officer and manager of Foundation events for the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation. USPOULTRY matched $2,000 of Henning Companies’ contribution, with Mikell Fries, Claxton Poultry Farms and outgoing USPOULTRY chair, presenting the check. This is Henning Companies' third donation and the Anderson family’s second donation to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

"We are honored to once again contribute to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Our family has experienced first-hand how Children’s has played an important part in helping our son. Witnessing the incredible impact they have on the lives of children, Henning Companies and our family are grateful to support their ongoing efforts,” said Jason Anderson, vice president of agriculture, Henning Companies.

“Henning Companies and the Anderson family’s leadership in contributing to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is appreciated by our Association. We are pleased to add to this donation,” said Fries.

“Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is dependent on donors like Henning Companies, the Anderson Family and USPOULTRY to accomplish its mission of making kids better today and healthier tomorrow through philanthropic contributions. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta provides medically needed healthcare to the children of Georgia, including families that could not afford to pay otherwise,” said Morrow.
