On June 28, Triumph Foods, L.L.C. of St. Joseph donated 33,000 pounds of premium pork products to Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Missouri. This donation of lean, high quality pork spare ribs, back ribs, hams, loins, tenderloins, pork steaks, and other cuts of meat is enough food to help provide over 100,000 meals across 19 counties. Second Harvest serves in Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas, which includes Daviess County. This area currently has more than 51,000 individuals who aren’t sure where they will get their next meal.
“It is great to have such wonderful community partners like Triumph Foods,” said Chad Higdon, Executive Director at Second Harvest. “In this day and age where most businesses focus on the bottom line, it is great to see a corporation dedicated to supporting their community. If it weren’t for the tremendous support we receive from companies like Triumph, Second Harvest would not be able to meet the needs of the communities we serve.”
“We will continue to fight against food insecurity and hunger in St. Joseph and the entire service area of Second Harvest,” said Chris Clark, Communications Manager at Triumph. “A strong commitment to our communities is a fundamental part of the foundation of our company.”
