“We are proud to partner with Hormel to feed over 700 families here in Houston,” said Sparkle Anderson, Corporate Affairs Manager for The Kroger Co. “At Kroger, we are continually working toward our goal to end hunger in our communities and eliminate waste in our company by 2025. BakerRipley is a staple in the Houston community and we couldn’t have picked a better recipient for this donation.”
Â鶹ӳ» will donate more than 55,000 hams (retail value of $1.1 million) to charities nationwide through the Hormel® Cure 81® Hams for Hunger™ program this holiday season.
