Hormel Foods Corp. employees in Austin put together care packages on Thursday that will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation to feed military families for the Easter holiday.
The partnership is with the Hormel Cure 81 brand and Fisher House, a non-profit organization that houses military families for free while their veteran family members are treated at nearby hospitals.
