Give A Ham Challenge Kicks Off, Calling on America to Fight Hunger With Pork Donations | Pork Industry News with Rachel Fishback

The National Pork Producers Council has officially launched the 2025 #GiveAHam Challenge, rallying pork producers, industry partners, and families across the nation to help fight hunger during the holiday season.

Each year, the challenge encourages people to donate pork products to local food banks, community pantries, and charitable organizations. These donations provide high-quality protein to families facing food insecurity — a need that continues to grow in communities of every size.

This year’s call to action is simple: donate a ham, inspire a friend, and keep the chain of generosity going. Supporters are encouraged to share their donation on social media using the hashtags #GiveAHam and #PoundsofPork, tagging others to join the challenge and spread awareness.

The campaign has become a beloved annual tradition within the pork industry, highlighting producers’ commitment to feeding families, strengthening communities, and giving back during the holidays.

With thousands of hams expected to be donated nationwide, the 2025 #GiveAHam Challenge is once again poised to make a meaningful difference—one ham, one family, and one act of kindness at a time.
