In an inspiring act of solidarity, Goya Foods, the leading Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, has made a substantial donation of 100,000 pounds of food to assist families affected by the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. This initiative reflects not only the company’s commitment to providing aid but also its dedication to supporting communities in crisis.
Goya has partnered with the Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to ensure that the donated food leaves from its Miami, Florida warehouse and is distributed effectively across Venezuelan communities that are in dire need. As the country's recovery efforts progress, Goya is firmly positioned to extend support to grieving families across Venezuela during these tough times.

At Goya, we believe that when tragedy occurs, we have a responsibility to stand by those in need. Through our Goya Gives initiative, we are committed to providing humanitarian assistance and food to families as they embark on the long road to recovery. We continue to pray for everyone affected, as well as for the courageous first responders and humanitarian teams tirelessly working to save lives and bring aid to those in need."
