Smithfield Foods, Inc. announces it is donating more than 35,000 pounds of protein to the Redwood Empire Food Bank in an effort to help the communities impacted by the wildfires in the region. The donation is part of Smithfield’s signature hunger-relief initiative, Helping Hungry Homes, and comes as the food bank works tirelessly to provide resources to those affected by this natural disaster.

The donation from Smithfield is equivalent to more than 140,000 servings and will help fill a void for the more than 180,000 citizens displaced in Northern California as a result of the Kincaid Fire, supporting the ongoing efforts by the food bank.
