Smithfield Foods’ U.S. employees collected more than 25,000 pounds of food to support hunger relief during Hunger Action Month, Feeding America’s annual nationwide campaign to inspire conversation and drive passion for the issue of hunger. The equivalent of more than 21,000 meals, these donations will support food banks and hunger relief programs in Smithfield’s local communities across the Unites States.
“Feeding the hungry is at the core of our philanthropic efforts,” said Jonathan Toms, senior community development manager for Smithfield Foods. “Each year, our Smithfield team members demonstrate through our Hunger Action Month food drive that they believe in our mission to fight hunger and food insecurity. It is remarkable to see how passionately they give back to support the communities we call home.”
