FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Will Land O'Lakes donate food to my organization or event?
A. Alleviating hunger is Land O'Lakes' top human services priority.
Land O'Lakes has long donated tons of food to emergency feeding programs and food banks through America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization. The donated food goes to more than 62,000 programs, serving 23 million people each year. Because of the support Land O'Lakes gives to the America's Second Harvest, we do not donate food to other organizations or events.
