Hormel Foods Corporation has donated 30,240 pounds of SPAM products to the Philippines National Red Cross to provide aid to the people who were hit by the recent series of typhoons, Typhoon Ondoy and Typhoon Pepeng, in the Philippines. Aside from this, they are also matching up to $10,000 from employee monetary donations.
Hormel Foods and San Miguel Corporation have a joint venture, Purefoods-Hormel Company, located in Marikini. The employees who were at the plant during the flood were able to evacuate, but many of these individuals lost their homes and cars.
The SPAM product donation to the Red Cross was made possible with the product and logistical cooperation of Puregold, a retailer in the Philippines.
