Hormel Foods Against Hunger

The issue of hunger is close to our hearts at Hormel Foods. As a leader in the food industry, we have a unique opportunity to provide thought leadership and take action against hunger.

This is why Hormel Foods convened the first-ever Minnesota Hunger Summit in cooperation with America’s Second Harvest and Second Harvest Heartland. It is also why Hormel Foods has donated food products and funds to food banks for many years.

To better understand American attitudes and behaviors around poverty and hunger, results of The Hormel Foods Hunger Survey were released at the Hunger Summit in December 2006.

We continue to think globally and act locally on this important issue. A second hunger summit, The Ohio Hunger Summit was held in October 2007, and future events are planned to further the company's anti-hunger efforts.
