RICHMOND, Va. -- Armour Meats, the makers of frozen meatballs, pepperoni and portable lunch kits, have been recognizing heroic moms since 2016.
Armour recently honored Iris Washington, who helped deliver a baby in the downtown Richmond Salvation Army lobby, with a $2,500 gift card to Publix.
“I’m just honored to have been a part of it. I just can’t believe so much came out of it,” Washington said. “It was really just like… what I thought was the right idea, and God knows I really didn’t know what I was doing, so like I’m just happy.”
Faye Sharoff with Armour Foods said the company is focused on honoring unsung heroes that do so much for their kids and communities.
“And when we read about Iris’ story, and what she did right here in the shelter lobby for one of her residents, we were just amazed," Sharoff said. "And we really felt like that is an Armour Great Mom and we want to recognize what she has done here.”
