David May serving pork burgers at Heartland Community Schools in Henderson Pig farms and pork producers have long been a staple in Nebraska communities. As caring neighbors and responsible citizens, Nebraska Pork Producers Association is dedicated to giving back and helping make Nebraska even stronger. As one of the six pillars of the We Care Initiative, community is an integral part of America’s pork industry each and every day.
Every year the Nebraska Pork Producers Association sponsors events across Nebraska in communities large and small that emulate the pork industry’s ethical principles. A few examples are: Give a Ham: As part of its holiday initiative, NPPA provides over 15,000 pounds of hams and pork loins to agencies and organizations that serve the food insecure across Nebraska. Just a sample of the communities impacted include Omaha, Lincoln, Kearney, Grand Island, Hastings, Fremont and Broken Bow.
Pinot, Pigs and Pours: A premier “pork-centric” culinary event in Omaha serves as an essential fundraiser for the Completely Kids organization that distributes 990 bags of food to children every weekend. The event has raised over $3.275 million since its inception in 2009.
Winning chefs in the 2024 culinary competition NPPA is involved in a wide range of local projects in support of literacy, cancer benefits, and food insecurity. The association also sponsors county fairs, historical renovations, community foundations, and athletic programs and facilities, as well as childcare and fire departments. Visit powerofpork.
