Indiana Pork Donates $5,000 in gift cards to support Indiana teachers

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pork has donated 50 gift cards valued at $100 each to teachers across the state.

The donation, totaling $5,000, underscores Indiana Pork’s ongoing commitment to strengthening local communities and supporting those who make a difference in the lives of young Hoosiers every day.

The teachers were nominated by members of their communities, their students, administrators or other teachers for their hard work, dedication and impact on students.

“Teachers play a vital role in shaping the future and we recognize the hard work and dedication they pour into their classrooms,” said Jeanette Merritt, director of communications for Indiana Pork.

“We hope these gift cards can help ease some of the burden of out-of-pocket expenses for supplies and resources, ensuring teachers have the tools they need to create a positive learning environment for students.”

The gift cards will be distributed to teachers across Indiana who are often faced with the challenge of purchasing classroom materials using their personal funds.

By alleviating some of these financial pressures, Indiana Pork seeks to show its appreciation for educators while also encouraging continued excellence in the classroom.

“Teachers often go above and beyond for their students and it’s important that we recognize their sacrifices and dedication,” Merritt said. “Indiana Pork is honored to give back to educators who work tirelessly to prepare the next generation.”

Indiana Pork, representing Indiana’s nearly 2,800 pig farmers, remains committed to fostering community relationships, supporting education and promoting agriculture throughout the state.
