Chobani has been valued at more than $10 billion and was started back in 2005 quite modestly by Turkish immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya, who after coming to the United States, took out a small loan and bought an old yogurt plant in Edmeston, NY.
Chobani is hosting its sixth annual Community Giveaway at the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich to show appreciation to the Central New York region.
Feeding America is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization and now, the non-profit is getting a major financial boost from a Southern Tier business.
The South Edmeston-based yogurt company has also joined the cause, donating 133,000 cases of Greek yogurt to Nourish NY's first event last week on Long Island.
