This week, Smithfield Foods joined our industry colleagues and producers at the National Pork Industry Conference held at the Wisconsin Dells' Kalahari Resort. Here, we took the conference focus areas of education, networking and family to heart, hosting a youth workshop for more than 100 of the industry's youngest leaders.

When flooding occurs, not only are homes and properties impacted, but access to basic necessities like clean water and fresh food becomes limited. Together, with Mercy Chefs, we are meeting our neighbors where they are and bringing hot, restaurant quality meals straight to them as we are on the ground in Rock Valley, Iowa where flooding has ravaged the area.

Addressing food insecurity in underserved areas is key to advancing vitality in local communities. That is why we are proud to support the Lumbee Regional Development Association, Inc. (LRDA), an organization created to provide vital services and resources for the Lumbee Indian communities to improve social and economic conditions in North Carolina, with a $10,000 monetary donation and a truckload of product to help take a bite out of hunger in the area.

As a local employer with more than 600 employees in nearby Sioux Center and Orange City, Iowa, we are proud to partner with Mercy Chefs, a Portsmouth, Virginia-based nonprofit that deploys to disaster zones across America to prepare these meals. The donation of loins, ribs and pork chops will provide over 140,000 servings of protein.

With more than 40 locations nationwide, we are lucky to be able to meet our interns where they are. But, even luckier to be able to bring them together to both produce "Good food. Responsibly.®” and develop professionally. This week, our talent development team hosted all 25+ for a session outlining the importance of teamwork, prioritization, communication and innovation while also giving them the skillset needed to tackle challenges and opportunities in these areas.
