Salt Lake City – The Utah Pork Producers Association (UPPA), in partnership with Daily’s Premium Meats, donated 35,000 pounds of pork to the Utah Food Bank on Wednesday. The donation is equivalent to 140,000 servings.

“With this donation, Utah pork farmers aim to offer a meal and a sense of hope to those who need it most,” said Jim Webb, UPPA president elect. “We are grateful for the work Utah Food Bank puts in every day to ensure no Utahns go hungry, and are proud to be able to support their efforts through this donation.
