As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday on July 4th 2026, Quaker Maid Meats is proud to join the national celebration honoring this historic milestone.
Through our iconic brands, Philly Gourmet and Steak-umm, we are recognizing America’s Semi quincentennial with special packaging and a commitment to supporting military families.
Limited-Edition America 250 Packaging
Beginning in March 2026, shoppers will start to see limited-edition patriotic packaging on select Philly Gourmet 100% Beef Patties and Steak-umm Sliced Steaks in grocery stores across the country. These packages celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and the traditions that bring people together—like sharing great food with family and friends.
The special packaging will remain on shelves through September 2026, helping mark the milestone throughout the grilling season and beyond.
Supporting Military Families
As part of this initiative, Quaker Maid Meats has donated $20,000 to the Fisher House Foundation, an organization that provides free lodging for military and veteran families while their loved ones receive medical care.
Fisher Houses are built near military and VA medical centers, allowing families to stay close to those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country. Supporting these families is one way we can give back during this historic national celebration.
Celebrating America’s Story
The America250 initiative invites communities, businesses, and organizations across the country to reflect on the nation’s past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to the future. As a family-owned Pennsylvania company, Quaker Maid Meats is proud to be part of that story.
For generations, our brands have been part of American kitchens and backyard grills. As the country marks this historic anniversary, we’re honored to celebrate alongside the families and communities who have supported us for decades.
We invite you to join us in celebrating America’s 250th birthday—one great meal at a time.
