Eckrich, part of the John Morrell Food Group, a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, announced a partnership with Operation Homefront, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that provides emergency financial assistance to the families of United States service members and wounded warriors. Through the partnership, Eckrich will donate a portion from every purchase of specially marked products to Operation Homefront, up to $200,000. And, to celebrate and honor military families nationwide, the two organizations will host local-market events this spring and summer.
"Eckrich is proud and humbled to partner with Operation Homefront to help support America's military families," said Joseph Sebring, president, John Morrell Food Group. "Creating special family moments is ingrained into our company's mission and values. That's why we're giving back and supporting this cause."
