In times like these, it is crucial to provide immediate support and aid to our fellow Americans. Thanks to the incredible work and first response of Global Empowerment Mission, we can help to rebuild, heal, and show the undeniable resilience of these communities," said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods.

Global Empowerment Mission, a humanitarian first-response non-profit organization, will distribute the funds and food directly to families in need in Maui, and on the West Coast.
