Thank You, Smithfield Foods and Randalls, for your Generous Protein Donation!

The Smithfield Foods 18-wheeler backed into the Food Bank’s dock. The truck’s back door opened to reveal a load of 35,000 pounds of protein for families in need.

The food company partnered with Randalls to provide more than 140,000 servings of nutritious protein to Central Texans facing hunger.

With one in six Central Texans at risk of hunger, we can’t thank Smithfield Foods and Randalls enough for their generous donation that will help ensure families have access to a healthy, balanced meal.

 “At Randalls, we are proud to address hunger nationally and throughout the many communities we call home,” Ronnie Taylor, district manager for Randalls, said.

The donation is part of Smithfield’s Helping Hungry Homes® initiative. Before the tour ends, they will provide protein to more than 50 food banks across the country.

Since 2011, Helping Hungry Homes® has provided more than 65 million servings of protein nationwide.
