SMITHFIELD, Va., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Smithfield Foods, Inc. has been recognized by the Military Times as a Best for Vets Employer for a third consecutive year. The publication's 2021 ranking, announced today, acknowledges companies that recruit, retain and support current and former service members, military spouses and military caregivers.

"We're honored to be recognized alongside companies who are actively prioritizing support for military families and veterans in their hiring and career development models," said Keira Lombardo, chief administrative officer for Smithfield Foods. "Smithfield has a history of championing the military community. We are tremendously grateful to our service families and consider it a privilege to welcome them into our Smithfield Family and support them in their careers and communities."

Smithfield's Helping Our Heroes initiative is aimed at prioritizing veteran employment and career development while strengthening the community and family support systems veterans rely on. In addition to supporting veteran causes in its charitable giving and philanthropic efforts, the company has committed to hire 4,000 veterans by 2025 and has launched various programs to support military-to-civilian life transition.
