In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, PepsiCo, the PepsiCo Foundation, and Pepsi-Cola Jamaica have mobilized quickly to support communities impacted by the storm. Working closely with first-response organizations and local partners, the PepsiCo Foundation is providing $75,000 to World Central Kitchen and PepsiCo and Pepsi-Cola Jamaica are providing a combined contribution value of $150,000 in relief, including both financial resources and product donations.
Through this support, we are partnering with World Central Kitchen and other nonprofit organizations to deliver meals to affected communities. At the same time, Pepsi-Cola Jamaica is donating essential hydration products, including water and Gatorade.
We remain focused on working together to support the community, our customers, and all those impacted, helping ensure a swift and strong recovery.
