Smithfield Foods and Feed the Children are joining forces to host three Resource Rallies in communities where it operates, helping to ensure children and families return to school with food, classroom supplies and household essentials needed to thrive.
Jim Monroe, vice president, corporate affairs for Smithfield Foods, said, “Every child deserves to start the school year with confidence and tools to succeed in and out of the classroom. By partnering with Feed the Children, we are proud to support local neighbours by providing food and essentials this back-to-school season.”
The first Resource Rally was held in Cudahy, Wisconsin. Future rallies are planned in Milan, Missouri and Clinton, North Carolina. Each Resource Rally will help feed approximately 400 families experiencing food insecurity.
In addition to a $100,000 donation, the company is also providing thousands of pounds of protein to families served at the events, including ham, lunch meat, bacon and pork tenderloin. Local employees will volunteer their time to help make the events possible.
Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children, said, “A widespread issue like childhood hunger will only be solved through collective efforts. We’ve seen the significant impact that Resource Rallies have in supporting communities where children are hungry and going without what they need to thrive. We are grateful to collaborate with Smithfield Foods to make a difference in the lives of children and families across the country. Through the power of partnership, we can make an even greater impact as we seek to create a world where no child goes to bed hungry.”
