HORMEL® CURE 81® HAMS FOR HUNGER® program

Celebrating its 34th anniversary, the HORMEL® CURE 81® HAMS FOR HUNGER® program is just one example of the commitment Hormel Foods has made to fight hunger and food insecurity.


Since the inception of the HORMEL® CURE 81® HAMS FOR HUNGER® program in 1989, Hormel Foods has partnered with retailers across the country to give back. More than $16 million dollars in hams have been donated to date, feeding tens of thousands of families. In 2021, more than 50,000 hams (an estimated retail value of $900,000 or an equivalent of more than *1 million meals) were donated to charities nationwide as part of the HORMEL® CURE 81® HAMS FOR HUNGER® Program – all in the communities served by our retail partners’ stores.
