Pork Provides: Giving Manitobans a Hand Up

Manitoba’s hog sector is proud to make a meaningful social impact in our communities by supporting sustainable food security. While our job is to provide a high-quality, affordable protein to the world, we are passionate about supporting the well-being of the communities where we live and work.

Every year, we donate more than two tonnes of pork products to those in need. Over the years, we have built relationships with Siloam Mission, Harvest Manitoba, the Salvation Army, Agape Table, Ste. Anne Food Bank, and Brandon’s Samaritan House Ministries. We are proud to partner with these remarkable organizations and watch them create opportunities for those needing a hand up.

Thanks to the hog sector, I've seen the impact nutritious pork makes for at-risk lives every day. Hog farmers support Manitoba food banks with upwards of 5,000 pounds of protein donated annually.
