Food pantries and kitchens in the tri-county area next week will begin receiving the 30,000 pounds of pork donated to Second Harvest Food Bank of Mahoning Valley by Smithfield Foods and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
Twenty pallets, holding enough pork hams, tenderloin cuts, ribs, chops and bacon to make 120,000 servings of protein-packed items, were unloaded Thursday from Smithfield’s refrigerated semi-truck into the freezer at the food bank’s facility at 2805 Salt Springs Road.
“We will begin Tuesday distributing the pork to our network of hunger-relief organizations in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties,” said Michael Iberis, Second Harvest executive director.
