Parmer County Resources is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was founded in 2024. The sole purpose of PCR is to serve as a non-religious charity to accept donations from companies that will then in turn be reallocated to other charities in Parmer County at the donating companies direction.
The most recent project PCR has helped with is the Friona Food Bank. The food bank has struggled over the years to provide a protein source to the food box recipients. Recently Cargill Meat Solutions has donated ground beef monthly to provide hamburger meat to the food bank.
This year, the Cargill Charity Golf Tournament donated their contributions to Parmer County Resources to provide funds to help process donated cattle into hamburger meat that will also be donated to the food bank. Cargill Meat Solutions matched that amount and presented the check to PCR on Tuesday.
The Parmer County Resources, Inc. board includes members that represent a variety of organizations from Friona: Jeri Lynn White, President; Emma Hernandez, Secretary; Ruben Rejino, Director; Wade Schueler, Member; and Jeff Procter, Member.
As a fully recognized 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation, the PCR Board of Directors would love to begin serving Friona and all of Parmer County by helping use donated funds to support local charities. If you or your company would like to make donations to support our local charities, please reach out to one of the board members and we will help you get started.
