For 15 years, Hormel Foods has marked Hunger Action Month by empowering its production facilities to support local hunger-relief efforts. Each facility receives a $10,000 donation, and team members play a central role in selecting the local organisations that receive the funds—ensuring the support goes directly to the communities where team members live and work.
In September, the company provided monetary donations to 46 organisations across US through this programme, reinforcing its belief that meaningful change begins at home.
John Forsythe, vice president of operations, shelf-stable at Hormel Foods, said, "As a former plant manager, I've seen firsthand how deeply connected Hormel Foods team members are to their communities. We do more than just work in these communities; we're part of them. When our team members help decide where their facility's donation goes, it's a powerful reminder that real change starts where we live, work and raise our families."
Production facilities are empowered to determine where and how their monetary donations are allocated. Many choose to support multiple organisations, as seen at Burke Corporation, a subsidiary of Hormel Foods located in Nevada, Iowa. There, the team divided their $10,000 donation between two local nonprofits: the Nevada Community Cupboard and Nevada Food at First.
Andrew Sieren, Burke Corporation plant manager, said, "We're proud to support local organisations like Nevada Food at First and the Nevada Community Cupboard, whose ongoing efforts are making a real difference in the fight against hunger. Their dedication is helping to strengthen our community and improve the lives of those in need."
