Our hearts go out to those affected by the tragic wildfires affecting communities throughout Chile. In alignment with our focus area of Zero Hunger (SDG 2), the PIMCO Foundation is making a donation to Red de Alimentos Chile (RED) and invites interested employees to do so as well. If you’d like to make a donation in support of the local efforts of RED, you can do so on this page.
Food Banks Are Crucial to Emergency Response
Because food banks are woven into the fabric of their communities, they’re positioned to respond when disasters and other crises hit.
RED regularly provides food to vulnerable populations and has strong connections with community service organizations. When disasters and crises like this hit, they know who needs support and can adapt to local needs quickly, offering assistance where appropriate.
Join us by donating today to help GFN’s efforts in Chile and together we will provide people affected by the devastating wildfires with urgently needed food and resources.
Double Your Donation
Please keep in mind that donations up to $2,000 are eligible for employee match (please keep receipts until March when our new-and-improved matching platform will go live).
Please reach out to the Purpose at PIMCO team with any questions. Thank you.
About The Global FoodBanking Network
The Global FoodBanking Network supports community-led solutions to alleviate hunger in nearly 50 countries. While millions struggle to access enough safe and nutritious food, nearly a third of all food produced is lost or wasted. We’re changing that. We believe food banks directed by local leaders are key to achieving Zero Hunger and building resilient food systems.
The Global FoodBanking Network is a 501(c)3 charitable organization registered with the Internal Revenue Service in the United States of America; contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by US law. Tax deductibility outside of the US is dependent on local tax regulations. GFN’s Tax ID number (EIN) is: 20-4268851
