Washington (77WABC) – Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic owned food company in the United States, announced a pledge of $2 million to combat child trafficking in a press conference today.
The press conference, held at The National Press Club in Washington D.C., also announced the launch of Goya Cares — a global initiative dedicated to eliminating child trafficking both domestically and internationally.
“Today we launch Goya Cares,” Goya CEO Bob Unanue said in the press conference. “Our mission is to bring the child back to the center of our care and concern, to the center of our family.”
“We are all blessed, chosen by God, and given the incredible gift of our lives,” Unanue added.
Goya also announced its support of the upcoming movie release Sound of Freedom, produced by Eduardo Verástegui who also attended the press conference. The movie is meant to bring attention to child trafficking, through the heroic actions of a former government agent.
As part of the pledge, Goya Cares will work directly with organizations that combat, rescue, reunite families, and rehabilitate victims.
