Goya Food Donation to Feed Bronx Families

Posted

Catholic Charities received 10,000 pounds of donated food from Goya Foods at Mosaic Beacon School in the Bronx Aug. 7. The donation will provide 16,667 meals to Catholic Charities food pantries in the Bronx. Catholic Charities annually distributes more than 2.5 million pounds of food through its food pantries.

Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, donated the food in celebration of the National Dominican Day Parade of New York, which took place in Manhattan Aug. 11.

“Once again Catholic Charities will benefit from the generous support of Goya, who have chosen to celebrate Dominican week by providing meals to New Yorkers in need. We continue to be grateful for their commitment and that of the Dominican Parade Committee leadership, to highlight, celebrate and provide for one of the many communities our agency is proud to serve,” said Beatriz Diaz Taveras, executive director of Catholic Charities Community Services.
