GREENVILLE, NC - The Hammock Source announces a month-long food drive as part of its commitment to giving back to the community. Throughout the month, employees will be encouraged to bring canned foods and other non-perishables to be collected and donated to The Food Bank of Eastern North Carolina.

“The Hammock Source has been fortunate enough to experience success and continued growth,” says Walter Perkins, III, CEO, adding, “Having quality employees that embrace our commitment to giving back is very rewarding.”

Additionally, The Hammock Source announced earlier this year that a portion of all its Original Pawleys Island furniture sales would be donated to Making Strides, a division of the American Cancer Society. Employees participated as well with individual donations purchasing Pink Ribbon Cards that formed three “Walls of Hope.”

Walter R. Perkins Jr., an avid amateur woodworker, formally founded Hatteras Hammocks® in 1971. A decade later, and Perkins bought the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock Company, and Hatteras Hammocks Inc, started doing business under the name The Hammock Source.

Today The Hammock Source is the world’s largest manufacturer and seller of hammocks. The company also operates The Real Deal Brazil which produces unique hats and bags from recycled truck tarps. The Company currently employs more than 165 people and has previously been named a “Pitt County Industry of The Year”.
