PMI Foods Honors Veterans with Generous Beef Donation to The Dream Center in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In gratitude for the brave men and women who have served in the United States military, Parker Migliorini International (PMI Foods), a leading global food distributor, today announced it had donated 800 pounds of high-quality top sirloin and rib eye steaks to support The Dream Center in Los Angeles' Veterans Day cookout. The donation brought nourishing protein to those facing food insecurity, including military veterans, families, and people experiencing homelessness, throughout the Los Angeles area. This most recent donation of 800 pounds of beef marks 7,600 pounds of beef PMI Foods has donated to organizations who serve those facing food insecurity in the Los Angeles area since 2025.

"Veterans Day is a chance to pause and say thank you to those who have served, and to ensure they feel the support of their community," said PMI Foods President Darin Parker. "The Dream Center and their partners are a great example of what it looks like to show up for our neighbors. We are proud to keep working alongside them and serve those who have so bravely served all of us."

"We would not have been able to serve the hundreds of veterans and their families who we were able to support without the generous protein donation from PMI Foods," said Donny Irmen, director of the Los Angeles Dream Center. "We have seen a significant increase in families facing hardships in their communities and are grateful for the opportunity to spread God's grace through supporting our veterans."

The Dream Center welcomes a diverse range of neighbors, including families supported by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), veterans and individuals in recovery living in transitional housing, and survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. Beyond its own outreach, The Dream Center works alongside organizations across the city to bring food to the people they serve.

This donation continues a partnership that has emerged from wildfire relief and food assistance for families affected by the 2025 SNAP disruptions. PMI Foods has maintained a commitment to supporting Los Angeles communities through its partnership with the Dream Center and CityServe International.

This donation embodies PMI Foods' commitment to supporting communities in need with high-quality, nutritious foods. PMI Foods has now provided more than 200,000 meals to date through the expansion of its global food donation program. As a part of this year's efforts, the program delivered 2,000 fully cooked protein products to support nationwide hunger-relief initiatives in 2026.
