With our month of giving in full swing, Seaboard Foods rose to the occasion in an incredible way to feed thousands of Oklahomans this holiday season. On Wednesday, several Seaboard producers joined Oklahoma Pork and a room full of community partners to celebrate a record-setting 40,000 pound Prairie Fresh pork donation to the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.

The donated pork will provide delicious, quality protein to thousands of Oklahomans this holiday season. Our friends at the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma made sure our pork producers knew how special this historic gift was by planning a tasty pork lunch, an informative panel discussion led by recipient organizations, and a tour of the recently renovated food bank for more than 30 folks who joined Seaboard Foods and Oklahoma Pork to unpack the full truckload of product and discuss the incredible impact this donation will make.

“At Seaboard Foods, we care deeply about nourishing communities and supporting our Oklahoma neighbors, especially during the holidays when the need is greatest,” said David Eaheart, senior director of communications and brand marketing at Seaboard Foods when reflecting on the event. “Through the Oklahoma Pork Council’s Give-A-Ham campaign, we’re honored to donate a truckload of wholesome and delicious Oklahoma pork to the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. We hope this helps families enjoy comforting and nutritious meals this holiday season.”

A special thanks to board members Roy Cansler and Dr. Donna Drebes for their leadership in this year's Give-A-Ham Challenge. Additionally, Oklahoma Pork commends Seaboard leaders including Davida Gomez, David Eaheart, and others who helped make this incredible gift happen.
