This contribution is in addition to a $125,000 commitment the Foundation has made to areas of the southern US affected by recent storms.
“The people of Joplin and other communities affected by these devastating storms are in our thoughts and prayers,” said PepsiCo chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi. “They need our help more than ever, and the entire PepsiCo family will fully support the recovery and rebuilding process along the way. During difficult times like these, we’re all neighbours and we can all lend a helping hand.”
The PepsiCo Foundation is working with long-time partners the American Red Cross and Feeding America to help support their immediate relief efforts, and has offered to ‘double match’ the charitable contributions that PepsiCo associates make to these organisations.
In addition to financial contributions, PepsiCo continues to send in-kind food and beverage donations such as Gatorade, Propel, Lipton, Tropolis and Quaker bars to non-profit organisations providing local support to communities in need.
