"Through our Goya Gives global initiative, Goya has always been at the

forefront of disaster and humanitarian relief efforts, however, this is a

historic attack and genocide on innocent civilians and we cannot sit back and

do nothing," said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods | Goya Europa.

"We are blessed to have a presence nearby and we are fortunate to be able to

answer the call for help. We send our prayers and love to the people of Ukraine

and all those who are on the ground putting their own lives at risk to help

those in need."  

"Goya Europa's strategic location allows us to react with immediate

assistance.  We have already begun handling the logistics of sending the food

through our distribution partners in Poland and Ukraine," said William Unanue,

General Manager of Goya Europa.

Through Goya Gives, Goya donated over 4.5 million pounds of food during the

pandemic, over one million pounds of food to the people of Puerto Rico during
