HISPANIC STAR CHAMPIONS LATINO NARRATIVE AT DAVOS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF LATINOS

January 24, 2025

Hispanic Star Delegation and Latinos gathered at Davos 2025

This year’s Davos, themed ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,’ aligns with a pivotal time to reshape Latino narrative.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanic Star returned to Davos for the sixth consecutive year with a delegation led by Hispanic Star’s founder Claudia Romo Edelman, and driven by the mission to share the narrative of the Latino community’s integral role in driving economic growth and technological innovation with this critical global audience.

This year’s forum, themed “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” is particularly significant as it coincides with the new U.S. administration, signaling a time of significant changes. Romo Edelman, with nearly three decades of experience at Davos, emphasizes the importance of including Latino voices in these high-level discussions to address global challenges effectively.

“As we step into a new era, Hispanic Star is championing a refreshed narrative for Latinos, emphasizing their undeniable economic prowess. With Latinos contributing $3.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP, driving 68% of the labor force growth in the United States by 2030, it’s clear that the narrative of Latinos as key economic drivers is more relevant than ever.”

The delegation’s strategic activities at Davos included leading two influential panels: “The Roadmap to Power,” co-powered by A LA LATINA, gathered global leaders and allies, with insights from Bea Perez, Executive Vice President and Chief Communications, Sustainability & Strategic Partnerships Officer at The Coca-Cola Company, Pilar Cruz, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer at Cargill, and Aldijana Šišić, Ph.D., Global Chief of Private Sector Partnerships at UN Women.

Together, they addressed challenges, forged alliances, and strategized on breaking barriers and building powerful networks. The second panel, “How Tokenization Democratizes Financial Markets and Fuels Financial Inclusion,” hosted by Hedera, featured Betsabe Botaitis, Martin Cabrera Jr., and Sheila Warren discussed how to enhance products and democratize markets while driving financial inclusion.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this year’s discussions, with Hispanic Star advocating for AI as a crucial tool in promoting data equity and combating misinformation. By integrating Latinos more significantly in AI development and implementation, the organization aims to ensure that technology advances reflect accurate representations and contributions of Latinos, thus counteracting the perpetuation of stereotypes. As the world steps into a new era of global interaction and technological integration, Hispanic Star’s contributions at Davos serve not only as a report of progress but as a clarion call for the inclusion of Latinos in all facets of global economic and technological development.

We Are All Human is a registered 501 (c)3, its biggest platform – the Hispanic Star – is an advocacy-driven platform with convening, mobilizing, and communications superpowers devoted to elevating the potential of Latinos by changing perceptions.

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Partners with End Overdose to Address Fentanyl Crisis

January 23, 2025

0

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, through its Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) Bureau, announced a new partnership with End Overdose, an organization dedicated to preventing drug overdoses through education, training, and community outreach, to address the fentanyl crisis in Los Angeles County. Together, Public Health and End Overdose will have a presence at several music and cultural festivals throughout LA County in 2025. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the risks of fentanyl, receive training and certification on how to administer naloxone, receive free naloxone, and access free resources to help prevent and reverse overdoses.

This collaboration continues the ongoing efforts by Public Health to address the fentanyl crisis in Los Angeles County. Almost 2,000 LA County residents died from an accidental fentanyl overdose or poisoning in 2023, according to the 2024 LA County Fentanyl Data Report.¹ The partnership will expand the reach of Public Health’s ongoing Fentanyl Frontline campaign, an initiative that was launched last year to spread awareness about the dangers of illicit fentanyl and to promote the use of naloxone, a life-saving opioid overdose reversal medication.

“Our partnership with End Overdose enhances our ongoing efforts to put an end to the fentanyl crisis by providing critical education, training, and resources to our communities,” said Dr. Gary Tsai, the Director of SAPC. “Together, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to prevent and respond to fentanyl-related overdoses, ultimately saving lives and fostering a safer environment for all residents of Los Angeles County.”

End Overdose has been at the forefront of overdose prevention efforts, providing education and training on the safe use of naloxone and other harm reduction strategies. End Overdose and Public Health are working together to ensure that more individuals, particularly those in high-risk communities, have access to life-saving tools and knowledge. DEA laboratory testing currently indicates that 7 out of 10 street-bought pills contain a potentially deadly dose of illicit fentanyl, and there is no way to see, smell, or taste if a pill or powder has been laced. Illicit fentanyl is common enough that anyone, anywhere in Los Angeles County, can be affected by fentanyl-laced pills or powders.

“The fentanyl crisis requires a united and proactive approach, and our partnership with the LA County Department of Public Health is a vital step in addressing this public health emergency,” said Theo Krzywicki, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of End Overdose. “We’re working together to ensure that no one in Los Angeles County loses a loved one to a preventable overdose.”

This partnership marks a step forward in reducing overdose deaths and promoting a safer, more informed community.

California Law Firm, Danko Meredith Files Lawsuit Against Southern California Edison Over Eaton Fire, Representing Survivors Who Lost Their Altadena Homes

January 23, 2025

0

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– Danko Meredith, a prominent California fire litigation firm, has filed a lawsuit against Southern California Edison (SCE) on behalf of survivors who lost their homes in the devastating Eaton Fire that swept through Altadena, California. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeks justice for the residents who lost everything in the fire, alleging that SCE’s negligence was a key factor in causing the blaze that destroyed over 9,300 structures and displaced families.

The Eaton Fire, which ignited on the evening of January 7, ravaged parts of Altadena, killing at least 17, leaving countless families homeless and causing significant property damage. The lawsuit claims that SCE’s failure to de-energize their lines, and failure to maintain their equipment and infrastructure, was responsible for sparking the fire, which quickly spread through the community, leading to the destruction of homes, businesses, lives, and personal belongings.

Key Allegations in the Lawsuit:

Their willful, reckless, and negligent, failure to de-energize their electrical lines during a forecasted high wind event.
Negligence in maintaining their electrical equipment.
Negligence in maintaining vegetation near their equipment to the appropriate levels

Statement from Mike Danko, Founding Partner at Danko Meredith:
“We aim to obtain just compensation for our clients whose lives have been upended by SoCal Edison,” said Mike Danko, founding partner of Danko Meredith. “Responsible utility companies shut off power before winds reach their equipment’s safe limits. SoCal Edison didn’t. Instead, it decided to put its equipment to the test. But it left it to the Altadena community to suffer the consequences. That’s not right.”

Next Steps
The lawsuit seeks damages to repair and rebuild properties, replace trees, loss of enjoyment, lost wages, exemplary damages, general damages, and attorneys’ fees, as well as an order requiring SCE to take immediate steps to improve the safety of its equipment and infrastructure to prevent future disasters. Danko Meredith’s attorneys will work closely with experts to investigate other potential contributing factors to the fire and will continue to advocate for the survivors’ rights throughout the legal process.

About Danko Meredith:

With a team of compassionate and skilled attorneys experienced in fire litigation, Danko Meredith has a proven track record of holding large corporations accountable for negligence and harmful practices and has successfully secured well over $1Billion for fire survivors, pushing for accountability and compensation in cases of utility-caused fires. The firm specializes in representing individuals and communities impacted by California fires. With a team of experienced litigators, Danko Meredith is dedicated to fighting for justice for those affected by corporate negligence and advocating for meaningful change.

Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center Upholds Top Honor for Cancer Care

MECCC Earns Three-Year Accreditation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons – Again!

BRONX, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) continues to rank among the nation’s top cancer centers, earning Three-Year Accreditation once again from the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACS). One of the most respected and prestigious designations for cancer care, this continuous accreditation builds on MECCC earning comprehensive status from the National Cancer Institute in 2023.

The CoC surveyor noted MECCC as “exceptional,” providing top marks for commitment to research, surgical excellence and nursing continuing education—all critical components to providing the very best cancer care.

Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the CoC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving patient outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. To earn CoC accreditation, a center must meet or exceed 38 quality care standards, be evaluated every three years, and maintain excellence in the quality of patient care, including prevention, education, research and survivorship.

Research Fueling Excellence

Ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for cancer care according to U.S. News & World Report –

235 MECCC members are engaged in high-impact, transdisciplinary research.
MECCC enrolls more than 1,000 patients in its 320 + active clinical trials.
Approximately 80% of MECCC clinical trial participants are from historically underrepresented groups, compared to only 8% nationwide.

Scientific findings and community-based research ensure cancer care is constantly evolving based on the most up-to-date insights. For example, surgical led initiatives like MECCC’s Lung Cancer Screening Program and Follow-up ASessmenT of Lung Nodules Clinic (FAST-Clinic), uses AI to identify and track patients at increased risk of lung cancer, and has contributed to reducing the incidence of advanced stage 4 lung cancers in the Bronx by nearly 12%. Life-saving initiatives, such as these, contributed to the renewal of the CoC also naming MECCC as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner.

“By focusing on patient-friendly screening methods and sophisticated surgical diagnostic techniques, cancers are being discovered earlier, when they are most treatable with minimally invasive surgery,” said Brendon M. Stiles, M.D., chief, Divisions of Thoracic Surgery & Surgical Oncology; associate director, Surgical Oncology, MECCC, and professor, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Einstein.

Nearly all 200 MECCC nurses also participated in continuing education courses to advance patient care, ranging from Essentials of Oncology Nurses to Managing Oncologic Emergencies. These education courses are on top of MECCC nurses’ commitment to researching, understanding and supporting the social determinants of health, distress and survivorship issues that directly impact cancer patients’ outcomes.

“Our educational initiatives are designed by nurses, for nurses – so having these efforts be recognized by the Commission on Cancer is incredibly rewarding,” said Maureen Scanlan, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, senior vice president and chief nurse executive, Montefiore Einstein. “Receiving feedback on our processes from the CoC expands our ability to standardize care experiences across 20 oncology specialties for patients and clinicians, alike.”

The achievements recognized were made possible by the MECCC Cancer Registry Team who collect and report patients’ complete history, diagnosis, treatment and health status.

“Our continued CoC accreditation reflects the tremendous talent and dedication of MECCC specialists in caring for patients of the Bronx and beyond,” said Edward Chu, M.D., M.M.S., director of MECCC, Carol and Roger Einiger Professor of Cancer Medicine and professor of oncology, medicine, and molecular pharmacology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and vice president of cancer medicine at Montefiore Medicine. “I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Katia Papalezova, surgical oncologist, lead, MECCC Melanoma & Sarcoma Program, Associate Professor, Surgery, Einstein, who served as the head of our Cancer Committee throughout this cycle, and Linda Fisher, our Director of Cancer Registry Program & Analytics, for their leadership. Together, this dynamic duo worked tirelessly to ensure that the CoC standards were met, and above all, our marriage of science, patient care, and community advocacy shined.”

Financial Aftermath of California Fires Leave Many Struggling to Recover and Unsure About Their Future

January 23, 2025

Consolidated Credit, a non-profit organization, has helped more than 10 million people overcome debt and financial challenges in 28 years. Its mission is to assist families throughout the United States to end financial crises and solve money management issues through education and counseling.

Financial losses from wildfires coupled with the loss of fire insurance coverage pose long-term challenges for California residents.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– The devastating impact of the California wildfires has left many families dealing with homelessness and profound financial stress. Millions in Los Angeles and surrounding areas are grappling with the costs of recovery amid cancellations of fire insurance policies, lost wages due to the loss of r employers’ businesses, and unexpected bills.

Consolidated Credit, a nonprofit organization, is urging people to take steps to protect their financial well-being in the aftermath of these catastrophic wildfires.

“Natural disasters are one of those unexpected life events that can derail even the best-laid financial plans,” says Gary Herman, President of Consolidated Credit. “Particularly with events like these, people may face property damage and increased credit card debt from emergency spending. We want to ensure that people have access to the resources they need to recover. We also want to help those facing challenges with credit card debt to regain stability as quickly as possible.”

Widespread loss of homes from the fires, smoke, and water-damaged property, and the loss of businesses, creates a ripple effect of lost wages and financial hardship across the Los Angeles area.

Consolidated Credit is offering free budget and debt-related counseling services and guidance during this stressful and challenging time. California residents impacted by the wildfires can reach out for free counseling at 1-844-331-7534. Certified counselors are available to help Angelenos create a recovery plan and avoid falling into deeper financial trouble caused by excessive debt.

Consolidated Credit offers the following tips for those struggling to recover financially after the wildfires:

Address High-Interest Debt first: If you have high-interest credit card balances, consider transferring them to a card with a lower interest rate and focus on paying down the balance by covering at least the minimum payment plus the interest and any new spending each month.
Explore Debt Management Programs: Plans may be able to consolidate your debts into one low monthly payment, reduce or eliminate interest charges. Paying down debts this way should also preserve your credit score.
If You Lost Your Job, Seek Assistance: California residents impacted by job loss due to the wildfires can file for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) through the Employment Development Department (EDD) by calling 1-833-998-2284 or 1-800-300-5616.
Start a Personal Wildfire Fund: Once the wildfires are under control, start putting aside a small amount, such as $20 per pay period. By next year, you could have a solid emergency fund of over $1,000.

Comprehensive Alcohol Harm Review Shows Drinking Risk Starts at the First Drop

January 22, 2025

0

Kudos to Authors of New ICCPUD Alcohol Intake & Health Study

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice is reporting that the answer to the question, does alcohol endanger health, has long been an unequivocal yes. The Alcohol Intake and Health Study, released last week, clearly illustrates why: the range and impact of alcohol-related harms are too broad for there to ever be a safe level of drinking.

“Because alcohol is so embedded in our society, it can be difficult to say, ‘Here it is, here is the damage done by drinking,'” said Cruz Avila, Executive Director of Alcohol Justice. “The study authors did a tremendous and thorough job following those threads and explaining their impact. They took a complex question and evidence base and delivered a straightforward recommendation. Namely, if you’re concerned about your health, don’t drink alcohol.”

The study, organized by the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD), an advisory body convened by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), developed a picture of alcohol harm building off what is already known. The CDC identifies over 50 causes of harm and death that alcohol contributes to, from liver disease to suicide. The Alcohol Intake and Health Study, in turn, assessed a “bottom-up” picture of alcohol risk by looking at how each of those causes contribute to the risk of consumption. Key findings include:

Even low levels of alcohol consumption—1 drink per day—bring increased risk of harms, including cirrhosis, certain cancers, and accidental injuries.
Risk of dying from an alcohol-related death is around 1 in 1000 for both men and women who consume more than 7 drinks a week, rising quickly to 1 in 100 for those consuming over 10 drinks a week.
Women bear a disproportionately high risk of alcohol-related cancer.
Even infrequent binge drinking days bring substantial increases in risk of harm.

“The study goes far beyond ‘health drinking’ questions,” stated Carson Benowitz-Fredericks, MSPH, Research Director at Alcohol Justice. “It creates a roadmap for addressing so many harms, across so many contexts, for years to come. We are grateful for the authors’ labor, and the potential it has to save lives.”

Revolutionizing Storytelling with a Legacy of Passion and Drama

Audionovelas, known as radionovelas in their heyday, have long been a cherished tradition in Hispanic culture.

Featuring the legendary actress Amparo Garrido and an exceptional cast, this is a tale you won’t want to miss.
La Cadena: Follow Carmen Molina into the shadows of “La Cadena,” a gripping narrative that explores the anguish and hope of those grappling with the complexities of the human mind and soul. Starring Gabriel Guerrero and Alicia Montoya, this audionovela captures a fierce battle of love, jealousy, and understanding.
La Impostora: In her soul lay kindness and sacrifice, yet she was condemned as “La Impostora.” This classic drama unfolds the haunting journey of three lives bound by an impossible love and a destiny that turns their dreams into a nightmare.

“Audionovelas are more than just entertainment; they’re a cultural touchstone that resonates deeply with Hispanic audiences. By partnering with Santa Rita/Cross Border Productions, we’re proud to breathe new life into these timeless stories, connecting generations and celebrating our shared heritage in a way that only reVolver Podcasts can.”- Jack Hobbs, President of reVolver Podcasts

Million-Dollar+ Home Sales in Texas Increased by 10% in 2024

January 22, 2025

Sales Worth $21.4B Were the Second Highest Ever Recorded

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of Texas homes that sold for $1 million or more from November 2023 to October 2024 was the second highest on record, according to the 2024 Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report released today by Texas REALTORS^®. Collectively worth $21.4 billion, the 12,888 homes represent a 10% increase over the previous year in number of homes sold.

Only 4% of all homes sold in Texas were million-dollar homes, but those properties made up 15.7% of all residential sales dollar volume in the state, which was an increase from 14.3% the previous year.

“The high end of the Texas real estate market continues to evolve,” said Christy Gessler, Chairman of Texas REALTORS^®. “As prices rise, more homes cross the million-dollar threshold. Some are highly valued for their size or amenities, but with many, the key factor is location.”

Nearly 90% of the million-dollar homes sold in Texas last year were in one of the four largest metro areas. At 38.7%, the Dallas-Fort Worth–Arlington area led by a large margin, with 4,992 homes worth a combined $8.5 billion. The Houston-Woodlands-Sugar Land area was second, at 26.2%. Austin-Round Rock had the third-highest percentage of Texas $1 million+ sales with 19.1%, followed by San Antonio–New Braunfels, at 5.1%. The rest of Texas combined for 10.9%.

Three of the four largest metros saw significant increases in million-dollar home sales. The Dallas MSA had the largest increase at 14%. The Houston and San Antonio MSAs followed with 10% and 4%, respectively. In the Austin MSA, sales were about the same as in the previous year. Sales of million-dollar homes were up 10% overall in Texas.

The average price per square foot of $1 million+ homes ($418) was more than double the average price per square foot of all Texas homes ($190).

Million-dollar homes stayed on the market longer in 2024, rising to an average of 68 days from an average of 58 days during the previous year. Homes in this price range also increased in months of inventory, which estimates how long it would take to sell all homes currently for sale at the current pace of sales, from 7.6 months during the previous period to 8.1 months for 2024.

“Homes in the $1 million+ category include an increasingly wide range of properties, each with its own special considerations,” Gessler said. “Buyers and sellers can always count on a Texas REALTOR^® to provide expert guidance for their individual situations.”

About the Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report
The Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report, previously known as the Texas Luxury Home Sales Report, is provided by the Data Relevance Project, a partnership among Texas REALTORS^® and local REALTOR^® associations throughout the state. Data analysis is provided by the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University. The report analyzes home sales priced $1 million and higher from November 2023 through October 2024 statewide and includes local data for the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio MSAs.

Food Safety Tips for Game Day

January 21, 2025

0

SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Super Bowl Sunday is approaching and you may be planning a party with friends and family. These parties often involve finger foods, shared dishes, and treats that are left out for long periods of time—which can lead to foodborne illness (also known as food poisoning). Don’t let foodborne illness ruin the fun. Check out these tips from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and learn how to keep your food safe.

CLEAN

Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food and after using the bathroom, changing diapers, and handling pets.
Wash your cutting boards, dishes, utensils, and counters with hot soapy water after preparing each food item.
Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running tap water, including those with skins and rinds that are not eaten. Scrub firm produce with a clean produce brush.

SEPARATE

Separate raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs from other foods in your shopping cart, grocery bags, and refrigerator.
Use one cutting board for produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood.
Never place cooked food on a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs unless the plate has been washed in hot, soapy water.
Make sure that no raw flour is on surfaces that contact other foods.

COOK

Use a food thermometer to ensure the safety of meat, poultry, seafood, and egg products. These foods must be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria.
When cooking in a microwave oven, cover food, stir, and rotate for even cooking. If there is no turntable, rotate the dish by hand once or twice during cooking. Always allow standing time, before checking the internal temperature with a food thermometer.

CHILL

Refrigerate or freeze meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, and other perishables within 2 hours of cooking or purchasing. Refrigerate within 1 hour if the food is exposed to temperatures 90 degrees or above, like a hot car or a tailgate party.
Divide leftovers into shallow containers for quicker cooling in the refrigerator.

SERVE

Keep cold foods chilled to 40 °F or below and hot foods heated to 140 °F or above.
If you’re planning a buffet and aren’t sure how quickly the food will be eaten, keep serving portions small. Prepare a few small platters and dishes ahead of time and replace them with fresh ones throughout the party.
Don’t add new food to an already filled serving dish. Instead, replace nearly empty serving dishes with freshly filled ones.
Watch the clock with leftovers. Whether you’re sending leftovers home with guests or are saving them for yourself, leftovers should be refrigerated as soon as guests arrive home and/or within 2 hours!

In response to the devastating fires currently affecting the Los Angeles area, Goya Foods, America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company with a facility in Los Angeles, has stepped in as a first responder, donating truckloads filled with thousands of pounds of essential food products to support families and individuals impacted by this disaster.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In response to the devastating fires currently affecting the Los Angeles area, Goya Foods, America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company with a facility in Los Angeles, has stepped in as a first responder, donating truckloads filled with thousands of pounds of essential food products to support families and individuals impacted by this disaster.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to our fellow neighbors who have lost so much. This historic devastation hits home because it is Goya’s home too, and it is vital that we come together to support our communities,” said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods. “We are grateful for the opportunity to assist our neighbors in Los Angeles and contribute to local relief efforts during this challenging time. Our commitment to providing food, support, and hope will be on-going.”

As wildfires continue to threaten homes and communities throughout the region, Goya Foods has been offering immediate relief to those in need and has collaborated with local non-profits and emergency response teams to ensure that food reaches those who need it most. With the help of Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), Bracken’s Kitchen, and St. Philip’s Parish in Pasadena, Goya has mobilized its resources to distribute nutritious meals and pantry staples, including rice, beans, canned goods, and ready-to-eat meals, to local shelters and relief organizations.

“The Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) is honored to have partners such as Goya who work with us side by side when disaster strikes. The generous donation of food will be placed in family necessity kits and delivered to families in Altadena and surrounding areas. If it weren’t for the generous support of these smart partnerships, GEM wouldn’t be poised to provide as much aid as we currently do,” stated Emily Fullmer, Chief Operations Officer of GEM.

Through its Goya Cares initiative, the company plans to continue its humanitarian support as the situation evolves, providing ongoing assistance and resources in the coming weeks.

For those looking to donate or assist with ongoing relief efforts, Goya Foods suggests reaching out to local charities and organizations involved in disaster response efforts including Bracken’s Kitchen and Global Empowerment Mission.
