Living Our Principles: Philanthropy
As part of our commitment to health and wellness, Hormel Foods partnered with Hy-Vee Stores to sponsor three triathlons in 2007, 2008 and 2009 - the Hy-Vee/Hormel Kids Triathlon in Sioux City, Iowa, the 2007 BR World Cup Triathlon in Grays Lake, Iowa, and the Hy-Vee Triathlon in Des Moines, Iowa. In support of the company's philanthropic goal to help relieve hunger, the Hormel Foods Austin Triathlon Force (ATF) collected donations from friends and family as a gesture of pledged support for their competitive efforts, raising more than $1,700 to support the Channel One Food Bank of Olmsted County.
