Contributions to End Hunger
Hormel Foods is committed to making a difference in hunger relief. One way Hormel Foods has taken action is through cash and in-kind donations.
Hormel Foods has supported Feeding America (formerly called America’s Second Harvest) the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the nation, through cash and donations of millions of pounds of product since it was founded in the 1970s.
In conjunction with the 2007 Hunger Summit, Hormel Foods donated more than 81,000 pounds of protein products to help relieve hunger. The donation included nearly three truckloads of protein products that provided meals to nearly 430,000 people.
Historic Giving
In previous years, Hormel Foods sponsored the Hormel® Hunger Walk, which raised more than $320,000 for Minnesota’s food banks.
In addition to the Hormel® Hunger Walk, the company donated more than $12 million in premium hams over the span of its 16-year Hormel® Hams for Hunger™ program.
