Company donation to be used to provide meals to Ukrainian refugees

Performance Food Group Company (PFG) (NYSE:PFGC) announced a $50,000 donation to World Central Kitchen (WCK) to help support the organization’s efforts to provide meals to Ukrainian refugees who have fled the country.

Founded by Chef José Andrés, WCK is a nonprofit that is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. They build resilient food systems with locally led solutions. PFG has provided support to WCK in the past to help the organization respond to communities dealing with natural disasters like hurricanes and tornados.

“Ever since the situation in Ukraine began, many of us wondered what we can do to help and how can we make the most impact,” said George Holm, PFG’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “When we learned WCK was on the ground in eastern Europe providing hot meals to Ukrainians impacted by the current crisis, we were proud to join the international community and support those in need through the inspirational efforts of WCK.”

“World Central Kitchen is grateful for PFG’s support and belief in our mission. They share our belief that a plate of food is more than just nourishment, it’s hope and a sign that someone cares,” said Jason Collis, WCK’s Vice President of Relief. “Their support will allow us to continue to provide fresh and comforting meals to Ukrainians fleeing their homes as well as those staying in the country.”

Fighting food insecurity and working to strengthen communities have long been a part of PFG’s corporate social responsibility focus.
