Triumph Foods has made another large meat donation to the Second Harvest Community Food Bank.
According to Second Harvest, earlier this week Triumph donated 21,000 lbs of ribs, loins, pork steaks and other pork cuts to the food bank. It’s the third large donation from Triumph this year. In June the company donated 20,000 lbs to the food bank to aid in hunger in northwest Missouri and in September 36,000 lbs of meat was donated to Second Harvest of southern Louisiana to aid in flood relief efforts.
Second Harvest said the latest donation is enough food to help provide over 16,600 meals across the 19 counties the agency serves in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas.
“We are constantly working to identify how to provide more protein to families in need throughout the region,” said Chad Higdon, Ex. Dir. at Second Harvest. “Our partnership with Triumph Foods helps with our fight against hunger, and when we receive a generous contribution of high quality protein we can provide assistance to the many struggling families in the region.”
