Greater Omaha Packing Company has announced a partnership with Food Bank for the Heartland to routinely donate high-quality beef, providing nutritious protein for residents in Omaha and Western Iowa communities. In September 2021, Greater Omaha donated 2,100 pounds of ground beef, the equivalent of 1,750 meals.
To kick off the efforts, an employee food drive at Greater Omaha Packing is collecting non-perishable food items that pair well with ground beef, such as tomato sauce, boxed meals and pasta. This partnership builds on previous 2021 donations totaling 14,000 pounds, or $50,000, for the Food Bank for the Heartland, the equivalent of 11,650 meals.
