In support of the Iowa Food Bank Association and the new “Pass the Pork” program to connect Iowa pig farmers with food insecure Iowans, Landus Cooperative has announced a $20,000 donation. “Landus is proud to support families in our communities and Iowa’s farmers at the same time,” says CEO, Matt Carstens. “We touch the entire food supply chain and recognize the increase in demand at food banks and the producers’ concern on where to take the hogs because of COVID-19. This is one way for us to show our commitment to Iowa’s pork producers and our commitment to providing a quality food supply for families in Iowa.” Through the “Pass the Pork” program, Iowa pork producers are donating pigs to the Iowa Food Bank Association and other food bank programs. This food resource is then distributed to families in need across the state. By utilizing matching funds through the Land O’ Lakes Foundation, Landus is able to increase the amount given to assist with the associated costs.
