Smithfield Packing Makes 100th Donation Under Helping Hungry Homes

Smithfield Packing, one of our independent operating companies, just completed its 100th food donation, totaling 14 million servings of protein donated to local food banks through the Helping Hungry Homes^TM tour.

"We've traveled from Miami, Florida, to Anchorage, Alaska, bringing much needed protein to wonderful food assistance organizations, and we have just made our 100th tour donation," said Dennis Pittman, Smithfield-Packing's' public affairs director. "Our Smithfield trucks have traveled to help families who've experienced tornado devastation in Joplin, Missouri, floods in Vermont and the recent hurricane in Delaware. It is heartwarming when we hear over and over again how much a food donation means to people. We're eager to continue the fight against hunger and raising awareness coast-to-coast."

Helping Hungry Homes is a Smithfield Foods initiative started in 2008 with a goal of helping to feed food insecure families in our nation.
