On Wednesday, March 31, we’re giving away uncooked 5-POUND PORK LOINS to the first 1,100 households at the City Parking Lot on West Church Street. Details below.
It’s our way of sa
ying “Thank You” for supporting pig farmers and plant workers as they’ve worked to keep a safe food supply available to the community and for the country—despite COVID-19 challenges.
At an early afternoon event organized by the Iowa Pork Producers Association, a local farmer will say thank you to the local community for its support through the past year.
Also as part of the “Thank You” celebration, Iowa pig farmers will:
- Donate to local food pantries—The Salvation Army, Emergency Food Box, and House of Compassion—for their continued work to alleviate hunger.
- Provide pork coupons at local grocery stores for consumers to use.
- Deliver pork thank-you baskets to local first responders.
