National Pork Month: Highlighting The Ohio Pork Producers Council


The Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks (OASHF) would like to bring light to its partnership with The Ohio Pork Producers Council (OPPC), in celebration of October being National Pork Month.

Through a partnership between over 3,700 Ohio hog farmers and 12 of Ohio’s regional foodbanks, Pork Power: Partnering to Fight Hunger in Ohio, helps feed those in need within Ohio’s local communities.

To thank consumers for enjoying pork and supporting Ohio farm families during National Pork Month, Ohioans are welcome to visit www.OhioPork.org to learn more about Ohio’s hog farmers, as well as download a $2 off coupon for fresh pork accepted at any Ohio retailer.

The partnership between OASHF and OPPC, while young, has had a substantial impact on the lives of thousands of Ohioans already. Committed to donating 100,000 pounds of pork which is equivalent to 500,000 servings, Ohio’s hog farmers have contributed nearly 60,000 pounds of pork to date, which is over 289,000 meals.
