Tradition Of Giving
At Kiolbassa
OUR STORY
As a young man, our founder, Rufus Kiolbassa, was a meat salesman during World War II. Meat was scarce and Rufus was often brought to tears having to make the painful decision about who would receive the meat rations that he had available. This experience stuck with Rufus when he opened Kiolbassa Smoked Meats in 1949. His compassion for his fellow man lives on through our company’s purpose to enrich lives.
This tradition has continued for 75 years
Introducing
Links of Love
A Special Program aimed at feeding people in need
Through the Links of Love program, we carry on Rufus Kiolbassa’s commitment to feed those in need by donating sausage each month to fight food insecurity, respond to disasters, and beginning in 2024, we also supply protein to our military and first responders.
Community Enrichment
Links of Love
As our world faces major challenges, Kiolbassa has developed the Links of Love program to support people during their time of greatest need. We have created a special all-pork dinner sausage that is fully cooked, easy to prepare and most importantly, delicious!
Because we produce high-quality protein products, our Links of Love program was developed in 2020 to help nourish those experiencing food insecurity and natural disasters. As part of our 75th anniversary, we have revamped our program to also include military and first responders.
If you believe your organization is a good candidate for this program, contact us and our Community Enrichment Manager will reach out to you.
