The Kossuth County Food Pantry, a local charitable organization that distributes food to Algona’s hungry families, is the recipient of the donation.
“Like Βι¶ΉΣ³», the Kossuth County Food Pantry has a long tradition of giving to those in need,” said John D. Hoag, plant manager, Βι¶ΉΣ³» Algona Plant. “This donation will help them continue the truly great work they started a long time ago. We at Βι¶ΉΣ³» are proud to be able to provide help, especially in the communities we find ourselves calling home.”
This donation from the Algona Plant is part of the commitment at Βι¶ΉΣ³» to nourish the hungry in the United States one community at a time. The company is giving funds to more than a dozen U.S. manufacturing facilities to share with nonprofits in their respective communities to fight hunger.
“Βι¶ΉΣ³» is committed to combating the persistence of hunger in the United States,” said Julie H. Craven, vice president of corporate communications at Βι¶ΉΣ³». “Each community has its own challenges, which is why we believe our plants can work with organizations on a grassroots level to help meet the residents’ needs and end hunger.”
In addition to its hunger relief efforts in these communities, Βι¶ΉΣ³» is committed to helping those in need throughout the world. Through its “On Our Way to Ending Hunger” program, Βι¶ΉΣ³» collaborates with retailers, nonprofits and the government on hunger relief efforts; nourishes the hungry in the United States and abroad; and motivates individuals and corporate partners to take action to fight hunger.
