For every can of Goya Refried Beans and Goya Beans in Sauce (Red label) purchased January through February 28, Goya Foods, as part of their “Goya Gives” initiative, will donate an average of 4 oz. of Goya food products to Feeding America.
Feeding America is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States. Through a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and programs, Goya provides meals to 46 million people each year. Feeding America also supports programs that educate the public about the problem of hunger, and advocates for legislation that protects people from going hungry.
The ‘Can Do’ campaign kicked off June 1, 2017, and will end June 30, 2018.
Each month throughout the course of the year, Goya has featured a different product that consumers can purchase to participate in the overall donation, including Goya Coconut Water, Goya Coconut Milk, Goya Cream of Coconut, Goya Refried Beans, and Goya Ready to Eat Red Label Beans.
For every Goya product purchased during the designated month, Goya will donate additional products to Feeding America.
“Each day, we strive to be a company of diversity and authenticity; a community of passionate people making a difference and working with organizations like Feeding America,” said Bob Unanue, President of Goya Foods. “The very essence of who we are is reflected in our unwavering dedication to providing our consumers with quality products, to nurture our communities, and to live the values set forth for us by our founders in everything we do.”
‘Can Do’ campaign donations will be made in the name of Goya’s retail partners throughout the country, who have participated in helping to promote the new initiative and bring awareness to Feeding America’s mission.
“As Feeding America and our network of 200 food banks feed 46 million Americans each year, we are incredibly grateful for partnerships like Goya that provide valuable food while driving awareness of the issue of hunger,” said Karen Hanner, vice president of Manufacturing Partnerships. “The Goya ‘Can Do’ campaign has been particularly successful this year as it’s engaged the consumer, the retail community and the Goya brand in bringing an incredible 1.5 million pounds (1.25 million meals) of Goya food to families that are struggling in communities most in need.”
The ‘Can Do’ campaign is part of Goya Gives, launched in 2011 as a national initiative committed to supporting local communities through social and environmental causes.
