The Willmar locations have donated funds to this organization in 2013, 2015 and 2017.
“Our team is honored to join Kandiyohi County Food Shelf to help support hunger relief in our area,” said Nathan Weber, plant manager of the Willmar Avenue Plant. “I would like to thank our employees; whose dedication and hard work make it possible to help those in need. On behalf of Hormel Foods, we are excited to help do our part in making a difference.”
