Last week, the National Pork Board kicked off National Eat Dinner Together Week, in conjunction with Feeding America—the national organization that supports our nation’s food banks. For every recipe on the pork website that is printed or downloaded—they donated five pounds of pork to the nation’s food banks! The goal of this week was to promote pork nutrition information and recipes, while donating food to a great cause. America’s Pork Producers promised to donate up to 10,000 pounds of pork – which is 50,000 meals! What a great cause!

To help get the word out, the National Pork Board enlisted all-American supermodel and celebrity mom Niki Taylor, mother of twins Jake and Hunter, and baby Ciel. Says Niki, “With all we’ve got going on, it can be difficult to fit in family meals. However, because we’re so busy, it’s more important than ever to get in quality family time, and eating together is a great way to do that.”America’s pork producers are helping those in need enjoy a meal, too.

Although we missed out on the week of donations, it’s still not too late to enjoy some pork favorites. Link here to check out some great pork recipes for your family to enjoy this week!
