In a collaborative effort to fight hunger, Smithfield Foods, a leading pork producer, partnered with United Supermarkets to donate 15 tons of protein to the South Plains Food Bank in Texas. This substantial contribution equates to over 30,000 pounds of protein, which will benefit thousands of individuals and families facing food insecurity in the South Plains area. The donation supports Smithfield’s “Helping Hungry Homes” initiative, which has provided over 200 million servings of protein to those in need across the U.S.
This contribution underscores Smithfield’s dedication to community support through nutrition-focused philanthropy. By working with regional partners, Smithfield can reach vulnerable communities more effectively, ensuring that food banks and charitable organizations receive essential protein products for balanced, nutritious meals. United Supermarkets, known for its community-oriented values, shares Smithfield’s mission and helps amplify the impact of these donations within Texas.
The South Plains Food Bank serves as a crucial resource for the region, and Smithfield’s donation allows it to continue providing substantial support to families in need. This initiative highlights the power of partnerships in addressing food insecurity and fostering resilient communities.
