PEPSI-COLA JAMAICA, whose success has been built on the unwavering support of Jamaicans, is raising the bar in humanitarian leadership by aiding in the local COVID-19 fight through a donation valued at over $15 million

The donation, made to the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Food For The Poor, and Missionaries of the Poor, will see over 200,000 units of beverage products being distributed to front-line workers, families and other vulnerable groups affected by the current health crisis.

General Manager Alejandro Sacasa explained that while he does understand that many persons have growing concerns regarding their health and their own economic projections, the company has made a decision to help buffer the impact by ensuring that their relief efforts help both their internal and external customers.

“As an extension of our company values, we believe that people are the heart of our business and of Jamaica. This is just a small step to show our support to the Jamaican people as they have always done for us,” shared Sacasa.
