Since 2000, Tyson Foods has donated 99 million pounds of protein within the United States. Health experts affirm that meat and poultry are nutrient-rich foods, crucial for those requiring more protein, such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Food banks across the country report that meat and poultry are the most sought-after but least available foods. Tyson Foods' ongoing "KNOW Hunger" campaign aims to educate more people and mobilize them to eradicate hunger in America. The company also collaborates with Share Our Strength, Lift Up America, and Feeding America to raise awareness and feed the hungry nationwide.
