The Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA) got creative and launched the #PassTheBacon post on Facebook to spread a little gratitude and happiness, reports the Farm Journal's Pork.

On Facebook people were encouraged to nominate their local food pantry by commenting on #PassTheBacon. Seven winners were randomly picked out of almost 2,000 entries. Each of those seven pantries received 50 boxes of bacon and the nominators received 10 boxes a piece.

's family was one of the lucky winners and she had her bacon delivered by drone. She had nominated the emergency food pantry FISH of Galesburg that has been active since the 70s.
