To help those in need this holiday season, Hormel Foods donated more than 32,000 cases of its SKIPPY brand peanut butter and jelly minis to Convoy of Hope.

The 12 truckloads of PB&J minis were handed out by Convoy of Hope, a Missouri based organization that provides food to those who are impoverished, hungry and hurting, at several locations during the holidays. The remainder of the food will be given to people at community outreach events.

“Convoy of Hope is grateful for this generous donation of SKIPPY P.B. & Jelly Minis,” said Bill Whitworth, Convoy of Hope’s procurement director. “This donation will serve more than 90,000 people across the country. Convoy of Hope would not be able to do the work we do without partners like Hormel Foods.”

Representatives from Hormel said the company is happy to help.

“We are honored to provide this large donation to Convoy of Hope to help thousands of families this holiday season,” said Aly Sill, SKIPPY P.B. & Jelly Minis brand manager at Hormel Foods. “SKIPPY P.B. & Jelly Minis are a delicious and convenient snack or meal.”

Since the organization started in 1994, 115 million people have been served by Convoy of Hope. More information about the organization can be found at www.convoyofhope.org.
