Funds support United Way, addressing root
causes of poverty and important social issues that resonate with
the diverse interests of employees.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands announced
today the results of its annual "United for Change" employee giving
campaign, raising more than $500,000 to benefit United
Way, United Way member agencies and other nonprofits that align
with the diverse interests of Conagra employees. The Conagra Brands
Foundation will also be matching a portion of employee
contributions made throughout the duration of the campaign.
Conagra's commitment to creating an inclusive culture through
partnerships with community and social justice organizations is
exemplified throughout this campaign. Designed to increase
employees' understanding of the disparities that exist in their
communities, United for Change provides an opportunity to directly
support effective programs and resources that strengthen and
empower individuals who are often marginalized in society.
More than 2,000 employees from 31 facility and office locations
across the United States, Mexico,
and Canada contributed to the campaign. In addition,
United for Change provides awareness and a forum for employees to
learn from leading nonprofits on topics such as how economic
development plays an essential role in the transformation of
neighborhoods, and ways to build more equitable communities. The
United Way has been a core partner for this campaign since
1997.
"Each year, I am humbled by the generosity of our employees
during the United for Change campaign," said Robert Rizzo, Senior Director, Conagra Brands
Foundation. "While our teams are active participants in
philanthropic efforts throughout the year, this outpouring of
generosity is especially inspirational as we head into the holiday
season. The success of this campaign is a testament to the
compassion of our employees, and we will remain committed to
supporting organizations that help create transformational positive
impact in our communities and for our neighbors."
