Since 2020, JBS USA has invested over $3.5 million in the Ottumwa, Iowa, community through the Hometown Strong program, part of a larger $100 million commitment to make JBS communities across the U.S. and Canada better places to live and work. The company is collaborating with local Ottumwa leaders to dedicate funding to the projects and initiatives that can have the greatest impact on the community.
Investments range from developing housing, including an apartment complex with 108 below-market-rate units available to JBS employees and their families, to contributing $50,000 to build a state-of-the-art youth soccer complex at Legacy Fields. JBS invested $600,000 to expand the Ottumwa Family YMCA daycare, providing a single-location daycare solution for families with children of multiple ages, alleviating scheduling difficulties for families in the community.
