Nestle S.A., the parent company of Nestle Purina PetCare, shared some amazing news with us this week. The company is generously donating approximately $280,000 to Meds & Food for Kids, supporting our work to save the lives of Haiti’s malnourished children and our commitment to long-term development. This donation is on top of the company’s worldwide donation efforts for Haiti, with employee and company donations already totaling more than $2 million in cash and products. We are so grateful to Nestle for this contribution. It will go a long way in supporting the increased production and distribution of life-saving, nutritious food in Haiti. In addition, it will help us fund Haiti’s future, with a new facility designed for safe food processing and large-scale production.
