'Operation Fresh Egg' for National Egg Day

Purina hopes chicken keepers will surprise family, friends, or neighbors with a happy note and a carton of fresh eggs--they are even supplying egg carton labels. Purina hatched up this idea because there are so many new backyard flocks (an estimated 1 million households joined the backyard chicken movement in 2020) and there are now more fresh eggs than ever before. 

How to join Purina in Operation Fresh Egg:

• Grab your egg collecting basket and load it up with fresh eggs.
• Visit the Purina website to download and print Operation Fresh Egg egg carton labels and greeting cards to add to your eggs.
• Share your backyard eggs with anyone who could use a little kindness in their day – family, friends, neighbors, etc.!
• Then, capture your act of kindness and share it using hashtag #OperationFreshEgg on Instagram or Facebook.

Who can you surprise with fresh eggs? Share a carton of fresh eggs with anyone who could use a surprise act of kindness in their day, including friends, neighbors, health care workers, coaches, teachers, etc. Many food banks and summer food programs also accept fresh food donations – just call ahead to see if they have the space.
