The Iowa Pork Producers Association, in partnership with Fareway Stores, Inc., delivered $20,000 worth of ground pork to six regional food banks across Iowa and western Nebraska as part of an ongoing effort to fight food insecurity and support local communities.
The donations equal more than 9,500 pounds of ground pork and will provide more than 38,000 servings of valuable protein to people in need. Deliveries took place Oct. 28 to 29 to the Food Bank of Iowa in Des Moines, River Bend Food Bank in Davenport, Northeast Iowa Food Bank in Waterloo, HACAP Food Reservoir in Hiawatha, Food Bank of Siouxland in Sioux City, and the Food Bank for the Heartland in Omaha.
The donations were made possible through funds raised at IPPA’s annual BBQ & Brew at the Ballpark event, held earlier this year.
