The Pork Power program hits a million pounds of ground pork donated this week.

The Central Illinois Foodbank received a donation of nearly 10,000 pounds of ground pork pushing the total donated since 2008 to 1 million pounds. Mike Haag, past president of the Illinois Pork Producers, says the program has been impressive to be a part of and it backs up his passion as a farmer.

Along with the Pork Producers, the Illinois Corn Marketing Board, Illinois Soybean Association and the Illinois Meat Processors all support the Pork Power Program.
