Give-A-Ham Free Lunches and Giving Days Schedule

We are just days away from launching the 2024 Give-A-Ham Challenge and experiencing the joy that comes from feeding people while asking for nothing in return. The "Giving Season" is the perfect time to spread generosity and make a difference at the local level - whether that's sharing one ham with someone you know would appreciate it or coordinating a truckload of pork to a charitable organization dear to your heart. As you make plans for your priorities over the holidays, please consider making a donation to your local food bank or otherwise meeting a need in your community.

Since giving back is truly a cornerstone of what pig farmers do, we are excited to announce the free community lunch locations and several other special give back days for the 2024 Give-A-Ham Campaign. These free meals will happen in concert with the hams and other product and fund donations that occur as the Give-A-Ham Challenge passes through leaders in agriculture, government, education, and more via social media.

Check out the 2024 Give-A-Ham highlight schedule of Oklahoma Pork sponsored events below, including free community lunches around the state throughout December. All our free community lunches are first come, first served and usually "sell out" in less than 30 minutes with 300+ meals served!
