We thank them for their donation last year, we thank them for their donation this year and we look forward to their donation next year. It is a profoundly humane and social demonstration of how the international private sector can actively help to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span>. This humanitarian support will be transparently channeled through the protocols that the Interim Government of President <span class=\"xn-person\">Juan Guaid\u00f3<\/span> has coordinated with national and international agencies to address the emergency that affects millions of Venezuelan families,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Carlos Vecchio<\/span>, Ambassador of <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Through Goya Gives, a global program committed to promoting the\u00a0overall well-being of communities through social responsibility, environmental initiatives, and company values, Goya supports each year nearly 300 charitable endeavors, scholarships, and events.\u00a0 Since the start of the pandemic, the company has donated a total of 2.5 million pounds of food and 20,000 protective masks. During Hurricane Maria Goya donated over 1 million pounds of food to the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span>, in addition to the starving people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span> during governmental unrest, to the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Haiti<\/span> during the earthquake, and at home during Superstorm Sandy, and Hurricanes Isaac, Harvey, and Irene.\u00a0 Since 1936, giving back is the heart of Goya and has always been a part of the company&#8217;s DNA. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For further updates on our charitable efforts through Goya Gives, please, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2859798-1&amp;h=943042481&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goya.com%2Fen%2Fgoya-gives&amp;a=goya.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">goya.com<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2859798-1&amp;h=4206914290&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fgoyafoods%2F&amp;a=Instagram\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2859798-1&amp;h=4164949439&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGoyaFoods&amp;a=Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2859798-1&amp;h=1217936432&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FGoyaFoods&amp;a=Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>About Goya Foods<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Founded in 1936, Goya Foods, Inc. is America&#8217;s largest Hispanic-owned food company, and has established itself as the leader in Latin American food and condiments.
