Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation Helps Young Superheroes Combat Hunger

Iowa Select Farms and Foundation Provide 837,612 Ham Sandwiches to Iowa Kids at Risk of Hunger

WEST DES MOINES, IOWA (November 7, 2018) – Iowa Select Farms and the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation announced the expansion of their Power Snack(tm) program aimed at reducing childhood hunger in Iowa by providing access to nutritious food at home. This year, Power Snack(tm) will provide 23,267 children across 127 schools with 837,612 meals-a 23 percent increase from 2017.

“These coupons could not have come at a better time,” said Lynn Baldus, St. Ansgar’s Middle and High School Principal. “With Thanksgiving break coming up most kids are excited because they’re going to grandma’s house for a big meal, but the reality is we have a lot of kids sitting here thinking, ‘Okay, great. What am I going to eat on these days we don’t have school?’ I really worry about them, I do.”

Thanks to Iowa Select Farms and the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation, at-risk children in rural Iowa receive a Power Snack(tm) kit containing a $5 coupon for deli ham and a $3 coupon for a loaf of whole wheat bread-the ingredients needed to make their own “Power Snacks” at home.

Power Snack(tm) Teacher Kits are being hand-delivered to teachers and school nurses by employees of Iowa Select Farms November 6-19, 2018. Teacher Kits contain program information and four packs of coupons for each child, intended for distribution to at-risk children right before Thanksgiving, winter, spring and summer breaks.

“Power Snack(tm) is indicative of the larger purpose of the program-empower children in food insecure homes by teaching them how to get to the store, shop for nutritious food covered by the coupons and make their own snacks,” said Jen Sorenson, Communications Director of Iowa Select Farms. “Oftentimes parents are working on weekends and holidays. Something simple like a ham sandwich may be the difference in preventing kids from going hungry.”

As farmers and pork producers, Jeff and Deb Hansen, owners of Iowa Select Farms, are passionate about assisting hunger-relief efforts, particularly those directed towards children. The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation furthered its commitment to Power Snack(tm) by increasing the number of children served by approximately 13,000 since 2012. As part of their ongoing commitment to rural Iowa, the Hansens continue to direct Foundation efforts towards the communities where Iowa Select Farms employees work and live.

Ham is Lean, Nutrient Rich Protein

“Kids love ham,” explained Sorenson. “It’s easy to prepare, full of flavor and promotes growth and development. Combining the energy and carbohydrates of whole wheat bread with the protein of ham means the children will have made themselves a real Power Snack(tm).”

According to the National Pork Board, pork loin, tenderloin and ham are excellent sources of thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, phosphorus and protein, and a good source of zinc and potassium. The USDA MyPlate guidelines recommend children eat up to six ounces of lean protein daily, depending on age and gender.
