Goya Foods Provides More Than 200,000 Pounds of Food to Support Colombia’s Earthquake-Affected
Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, is supporting communities affected by the devastating earthquakes in Colombia with a donation of more than 200,000 pounds of food. The contribution is aimed at providing essential nourishment to individuals and families impacted by the disaster.
In partnership with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), Goya is working to ensure the donated food reaches communities and families with the most urgent needs.
“Our hearts are with the people of Colombia during this difficult time,” said Peter Unanue, Co-President of Goya Foods. “For 90 years, Goya has stood with communities in times of need. We hope this donation provides nourishment and comfort to families as they recover and rebuild. We stand with the people of Colombia and remain committed to supporting relief efforts.”
The donation includes five truckloads of Goya products, featuring a range of essential food items intended to help address the immediate needs of earthquake-affected communities. Through its Goya Gives initiative and partnership with GEM, the company is helping move critical food supplies to those most in need as relief and recovery efforts continue.
“Goya has once again demonstrated what meaningful corporate partnership looks like in the immediate aftermath of a disaster,” said Michael Capponi, Founder and President of Global Empowerment Mission. “This donation gives GEM the ability to rapidly move essential resources directly into the hands of families impacted by the earthquakes in Colombia. Our model is built around speed, efficiency and strong partnerships, ensuring aid arrives quickly and reaches the communities where it has the greatest impact. We are deeply grateful to Goya for standing with GEM and the people of Colombia as we move from immediate response toward long-term recovery.”
Goya’s commitment to humanitarian relief spans 90 years, with the company supporting communities affected by natural disasters and crises across the United States and around the world. Its relief efforts have included responses to recent earthquakes in Venezuela.
Through Goya Gives, the company continues this longstanding tradition by providing food and essential resources to communities in need. By working with trusted organizations such as Global Empowerment Mission, Goya aims to deliver assistance efficiently and help support communities throughout both immediate relief and long-term recovery.
