JERSEY CITY, N.J., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, is proud to announce the completion of the GOYA® Cares Hidrátate por la Esperanza campaign, which successfully raised $350,000 for critical initiatives aimed at preventing child abuse, exploitation and trafficking and addressing mental health issues among children and adolescents.
“The safety and well-being of children is of the utmost importance to us,” said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods. “Thanks to the incredible support we received during the GOYA® Cares Hydrate for Hope campaign, we are taking significant steps to protect our most vulnerable population and support their mental health. Together, we can usher in lasting change.”
As a result of the community’s generous support, Goya Foods will distribute these funds to several dedicated organizations, including Olive Crest in California, Kristi House in Florida, Crime Stoppers of Houston, Salt & Light in Chicago, Covenant House New York and New Jersey, and Center for Safety and Change in New York. These organizations are on the front lines of the fight against child abuse and exploitation, while providing vital mental health resources and support.
The GOYA® Cares Hydrate for Hope campaign was launched in response to the increasing prevalence of child exploitation and mental health issues in the United States. Through the sale of GOYA® Coconut Water, Goya not only raised funds, but also promoted awareness and education around these pressing issues. The $350,000 raised will help fund preventative education initiatives in schools across the country in collaboration with GOYA® Cares coalition partners.
