MINNESOTA PIG FARMERS TO DONATE 6,000 POUNDS OF GROUND PORK TO SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND
November 9, 2021 4:58AM CST
This summer, the Minnesota Pork Board attended community events throughout the Twin Cities, connecting consumers with Minnesota pig farmers as part of the Oink Outings program. Every question a consumer asked at Oink Outing events equated to a pound of ground pork donated. The Minnesota Pork Board is proud to announce a donation of 6,000 pounds of ground pork to Second Harvest Heartland – enough pork to feed 24,000 people.
The donation will be presented by Minnesota Pork Board leadership to Second Harvest Heartland. Second Harvest Heartland works in close partnership with a network of 360 food shelves and nearly 1,000 partner programs across Minnesota and western Wisconsin who will distribute the pork to families facing hunger.
