Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, will donate 5,000 pounds of food to Nutritional Development Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (NDS) in honor of the Philadelphia International Unity Cup.
The food donation will support 50 shared food cupboards throughout the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia. A variety of non-perishables food such as rice, beans, and canned vegetables will be among the food delivered to the SHARE Food Program warehouse on:
Saturday, December 10, 2016

In 2015, NDS received 50,000 pounds of food from Goya Foods in honor of Pope Francis’ visit to the United States as part of the Goya Gives Campaign. NDS offers food and technical assistance to local organizations that serve adults, children, and families in need through food cupboards, soup kitchens, and shelters in the Philadelphia region.
The food donation is in honor of the first Philadelphia International Unity Cup, a soccer tournament that celebrates the rich cultural diversity of the “City of Brotherly Love.” Goya Foods, a staple brand in Latino households, sponsored the 32-team World Cup-style soccer tournament which concluded Saturday, November 5th following a championship game at Citizen’s Bank Park.
