GOYA FOODS CELEBRATES 90 YEARS AT “GOYA GIVES DAY,” DONATING 1 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD NATIONWIDE
In celebration of its 90th anniversary, Goya Foods will host Goya Gives Day on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 — the 90th day of the year — marking a major milestone with a nationwide day of service and philanthropy. Through its Goya Gives initiative, the company will donate 1 million pounds of food to individuals and families across the United States. 200 volunteers for non-profit organizations, local businesses and law enforcement will pack thousands of bags of food at Goya’s New Jersey headquarters. James Solomon, Mayor of Jersey City will also attend to declare “Goya Day” to mark the 90th anniversary of Goya Foods and its impact on the community.
From Madrid, Seville, Puerto Rico to California, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, and Chicago, Goya facilities and over 100 partner organizations across the country and around the world will participate in this coordinated day of giving, reinforcing the company’s long-standing commitment to supporting communities and fighting food insecurity.
According to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 47 million Americans live in food-insecure households, and about 13.5% of U.S. households experience food insecurity at some point during the year, underscoring the growing need for community-based food assistance and corporate giving initiatives.
For 90 years, Goya Foods has been committed to nourishing families and strengthening communities. Goya Gives Day reflects the company’s continued mission to give back, ensuring that families facing food insecurity have access to quality food while celebrating nine decades of heritage, community, and service.
