Goya Foods Inc., the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, will donate one million cans of American-grown chickpeas and one million pounds of its other food products to food banks in the U.S. to help families affected by COVID-19.
"I am honored to be a part of the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative and to support and celebrate the contributions of the Hispanic community," President of Goya Foods Bob Unanue said in a news release. "We are committed to our country and the need to give back because it is the right thing to do."
The donation is part of the company's Hispanic Prosperity Initiative, which seeks to improve educational and economic opportunities for Hispanic Americans.
"Our country faces a time of historic challenge but we will meet that challenge together and continue to work towards greatness, focus on a strong recovery, and hold onto the hope for a healthier future for all," Unanue said in the release.
