This may surprise many people but according to the USDA, 42 million People in America are lacking in needed food. This means 1 in 8 individuals across the country might not know just where their future meal will come from. We are working to improve this by shunning a light on the situation, volunteerism as well as charitable contributions to the people in need. From now through the end of the season, Helping Hungry Homes will supply just about a 1 million pounds of protein to the Feeding America network of food banks. This substantial gift is going to be converted directly into more than 800,000 meals for our neighbors in need. Who may not be showing it or are to afraid to talk about it.
Our own Smithfield foods family is very much devoted to this cause by hosting food drives at our organization facilities as well as offering volunteering help in community food banks, where they will stock racks with food items and help organize food goods that were donated.
