Smithfield Foods donates 32K pounds of pork to Northern Illinois Food Bank
Smithfield Foods has donated more than 32,000 pounds of protein, the equivalent of 130,000 servings, to the Northern Illinois Food Bank to help Illinois families this holiday season.
Employees from Smithfield’s St. Charles location also volunteered at the food bank, sorting and packing meals for neighbors in need after delivering the donation.
As part of their hunger relief program called “Helping Hungry Homes,” which they founded in 2008, Smithfield has pledged to donate 200 million servings of protein by 2025 to help fight food insecurity. They donated nearly 25 million servings to food banks, disaster relief efforts and community outreach programs across the U.S. in 2022.
