Hormel Foods Helps Fight Hunger in Alma

Alma Foods is presenting the donation to the Community Health Ministry, a local charitable organization that distributes food to Alma’s hungry families. In 2011, the facility donated $5,000 to the organization.

“I would like to thank our employees,” said Carl H. Haga, plant manager at Alma Foods. “Their hard work and commitment to excellence make it possible for Hormel Foods to give back to our community. On behalf of Alma Foods, we are proud to help the Community Health Ministry continue the great work they are doing to feed families 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 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 thrilled about 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.
