Hormel Foods Supports the American Red Cross
After the national hurricane disaster in 2005, Hormel Foods donated food and money as well as encouraged our employees and retirees to get involved and help with the recovery efforts. Because of our support, we were honored to receive the Humanitarians Circle Award from the American Red Cross.
This award is the highest financial support honor given to companies by the American Red Cross.
