Unilever Food Brand Natura Partners with The Global FoodBanking Network to Combat Food Insecurity
Natura’s, the popular Central American tomato sauce and refried beans brand, has partnered with The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) to help build food security in Central America. This collaborative initiative reaffirms Natura’s unwavering commitment to positively impacting communities in Central America – where the brand was born more than 50 years ago.
Natura’s has donated $100,000 to GFN, the international non-profit organization powering community-led food banks to alleviate global hunger – across six continents in more than 50 countries, helping them to expand their mission of fighting food insecurity in Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. This financial support will help GFN members in Central America provide essential food and resources to those who need it most, making significant strides in improving the lives of countless individuals and communities.
The partnership is forged by Unilever International, Unilever’s global business unit and white space partner. Nabomita Bagchi, Head of Global Nutrition Business Group Unilever International, said, “Our partnership with The Global FoodBanking Network represents a pivotal step forward in our journey to extend our impact to people in markets, who need it the most. This partnership reflects our dedication to the fight against food insecurity.”
“We invite our consumers to stand with us in this endeavor,” Bagchi adds. “With each Natura’s purchase, they are not just buying a product; they are becoming part of our mission to alleviate hunger and improve lives. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.”
Natura’s and GFN are determined to work together to create a brighter future for those facing food insecurity in Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. Lisa Moon, President and CEO of The Global FoodBanking Network, said, “Increasing food access helps people thrive, creating healthy and resilient communities. Unilever International is making it possible for our network of food banks to impact the lives of millions of people facing food insecurity in more than 50 countries, including Honduras, Costa Rica and Guatemala. Thoughtful partners like Unilever International remain vital to ensuring that together we are building sustainable local organizations and improving the resilience of the food banks that are providing critical services to millions of people.”
