The Minnesota Pork Board donated almost 92,000 meals to Second Harvest Heartland, the Upper Midwest’s largest hunger relief organization. This donation reflects a continuing partnership between these organizations who are working together to provide high-quality protein and hunger relief to their state and region.
The donation was presented by Olympic athletes Kassidy Cook and Sarah Bacon, active partners in the #CooknBacon promotion run by the Minnesota Pork Board. “We are so grateful for the Minnesota Pork Board’s continuing partnership, but it’s especially needed this year as neighbors deal with rising costs,†says Allison O’Toole, CEO of Second Harvest Heartland. “Prices for necessities like energy, housing, healthcare, and childcare continue climbing, and the more we pay those prices, the smaller our grocery budgets can get.â€
Todd Selvik, vice president of the MPB Board of Directors, says he’d like to thank Second Harvest Heartland for feeding families in Minnesota and the Midwest.
