Hormel Foods donation helps fight hunger in Twin Cities and surrounding communities

Second Harvest Heartland utilizes community relationships to end hunger and distributes more than 51 million pounds of food and grocery products annually to nearly 1,000 food shelves, soup kitchens, shelters and programs. In 2011, Lloyd’s Barbeque Company donated $5,000 to Second Harvest Heartland.

“It is an honor for me to present this donation on behalf of Lloyd’s Barbeque Company and Hormel Foods. Lloyd’s has always believed in a family culture, and part of this culture is helping take care of each other and individuals in our community,” said Clint D. Walters, plant manager, Lloyd’s Barbeque Company. “We are proud to help Second Harvest Heartland continue the great work they are doing to feed those in need.”

This donation is part of the commitment at Hormel Foods to nourish the hungry in the United States one community at a time. For the second straight year, the company is giving funds to more than a dozen U.S. manufacturing facilities to share with nonprofits in their respective communities to fight hunger.

“We were very happy with the feedback we received last year from our plant managers, employees and the organizations we were able to support through our hunger-relief efforts,” said Julie H. Craven, vice president of corporate communications at Hormel Foods. “We are proud to be making a difference in the communities where our employees live and work.”

In addition to its hunger relief efforts in these communities, Hormel Foods is committed to helping those in need throughout the world. Through its On Our Way to Ending Hunger program, Hormel Foods collaborates with retailers, nonprofits and the government on hunger relief efforts; nourishes the hungry in the United States and abroad; and motivates individuals and corporate partners to take action to fight hunger.
