Ontario Pork is proud to support Feed Ontario in delivering high-quality, locally raised pork to families across the province.
Each year, Ontario Pork donates $40,000 of fresh, Ontario-raised pork to Feed Ontario, which is distributed to food banks across the province. This partnership is a vital link in ensuring nutritious protein reaches those who need it most.
The need for these programs has never been greater. In 2024, Ontario saw its eighth consecutive year of increased food bank visits, with over 1 million people accessing food banks. 1 in 3 people accessing food support are children, underscoring the importance of nutritious donations like high quality, locally raised pork.
To date, we have donated:
What began in 1998 as the Donate-A-Hog program, evolved into the Ontario Pork Friends of the Food Bank program in 2013. Since then, this partnership has provided over 320,700 pounds of pork, equivalent to 1,945,640 servings of protein. In 2024 alone, Ontario-raised pork provided 129,900 servings to communities across the province.
