Get to Know a Holiday Staple: Hickory Farms & Charitable Giving

It’s no secret that when it comes to the holiday season and entertaining, Hickory Farms is a staple in my household. For as long as I can remember, Hickory Farms has been a brand that I have consistently relied on for amazing goodies that I can share with guests during my holiday fetes. Last month, I got the opportunity to enjoy a Hickory Farms Party Planner gift box, which was filled to the brim with items that make great appetizers and finger foods for entertaining, and it was a hit during my Thanksgiving dinner.

Hickory Farms’ Party Planner gift box isn’t just good to your palette—it’s good for the world. That is because with every purchase of the Party Planner gift box, Hickory Farms donates $5 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. $1.9 million has been donated so far via Hickory Farms and their customers.

Hickory Farms has also partnered with Operation Gratitude, an organization that makes and sends care packages for our troops and their families.

And, if that isn’t enough, Hickory Farms also offers free shipping to military FPO and APO mailing addresses, so that they can enjoy the goodies without paying any shipping charges.

Here’s more from Hickory Farms:

Hickory Farms is committed to giving back and has a long history of encouraging consumers to partake in the generosity of sharing during the holidays through its partnership with Share Our Strength^®, a leading national not-for-profit organization working to end childhood hunger in North America. When customers purchase a Party Planner gift box, Hickory Farms will contribute $5 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry^® Campaign*. Customers will also have the opportunity to include their own donation to the campaign with their purchase at a Hickory Farms store or at hickoryfarms.com. Hickory Farms’ passion for fighting childhood hunger has generated more than $1.8M in contributions to Share Our Strength since 2008. The company is looking to raise and/or donate an additional $700,000 this coming holiday season.

Beyond Share Our Strength, Hickory Farms is a strong supporter of the U.S. Armed Forces serving across the globe. To help give thanks this holiday season, Hickory Farms will be working with Operation Gratitude and will be running special promotions that will benefit the organization throughout the month November. In addition, all year long, Hickory Farms offers free shipping on select products to military addresses to ensure that families can send loved ones much needed food gifts and warm wishes.

When it comes to doing business with a company you love and trust, it’s also important to take into consideration their philanthropic efforts and charitable giving. For me, knowing that Hickory Farms does so much for the our communities and the military, I love placing orders knowing that I am spending money with a brand that does good things for the world.
