Last week, we were proud to once again purchase a hog at the local 4-H/FFA Hog Auction in support of the hardworking youth in our community.

To give back even further, we raffled off $5 tickets to our employees for a chance to win half a hog and processing, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Independence Area Food Pantry -IOWA.

This week, we were honored to present the Independence Food Pantry with an $800 donation! We are grateful for the opportunity to support such an important organization and the families they serve.

A special thank you to our employees for their generosity and to the Gallup family for providing outstanding, high-quality pork. Together, we're making a difference in our community!

Reminder! Make note for this week! Just a couple days away!
