NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomi a leading manufacturer, producer and exporter of Italian Tomato products since 1982, celebrating 40 successful years with several community initiatives today.

"The utmost care and dedication for providing high quality Italian tomatoes to families around the world has fueled Pomi for 40 years. It is thanks to the people behind every box of Pomi, and those who enjoy Pomi each and every day, that make our products and brand what it is.," says Cristiano Villani, CEO of Pomi USA.

Pomi and City Harvest have joined forces with a mutual mission to help others, both are celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year and have come together in a fundraiser that helps to feed millions of New Yorkers who struggle to put meals on their tables this holiday season.

As the holidays approach, we are seeing grocery prices rise at their fastest rate in 40 years. The cost of groceries is up more than 13%. With holiday staples surging, too, the price of turkeys is up 21% since 2021 – and up 60% since before the pandemic.

Pomi will be giving back to the community that helps make Pomi what it is with a Virtual Food Drive with City Harvest, as well as pledging to donate 2,268 cartons of Pomi 13oz Strained Tomatoes to those in need.

Starting at 8am on December 2nd 2022 , Pomi will be accepting donations for City Harvest Virtual Food Drive: https://secure.cityharvest.org/site/TR;jsessionid=00000000.app30128b?team_id=4877&fr_id=1200&pg=team&NONCE_TOKEN=D290C2E008AD645C6CD3086E2D8D38AA:

In addition, Pomi has created a video montage to honor the history of Pomi from the innovative sustainable packaging to the memorable commercials starting with The Tomato Revolution. For 40 years, Pomì has gathered families around the table, creating unforgettable memories through a universal love language of food. Although the world has changed in these 4 decades, Pomì's oath to excellence has remained the same–with pride behind both the product and packaging innovations. As well as a trip down culinary memory lane by recreating popular iconic recipes from each decade with classic Pomi Strained and Chopped Tomatoes and new products from the Crushed Flavored Tomato line up.
