America’s Second Harvest and Hormel Foods
Hormel Foods was an Official Protein Sponsor of America’s Second Harvest—The Nation’s Food Bank Network in 2006. Though we have donated product and funds since America’s Second Harvest began in 1979, we expanded that relationship by sponsoring hunger summits and research about Americans’ perceptions of hunger.
In conjunction with the 2006 Hunger Summit, Hormel Foods donated the entire production run of one eight-hour shift that makes its 5-ounce
Hormel® chunk ham product at its Austin, Minn. facility, totaling 85,000 cans. We chose this donation to specifically address the need food shelves have for protein products. Only three percent of food donations received at food banks is protein-based.
After the 2007 Hunger Summit, Hormel Foods
announced a significant donation to America's Second Harvest.
