Goya gives to D.C. food pantries

Twelve Washington-area food pantries will split 75,000 pounds of food donated as a part of the largest single-day donation by a food company. On Wednesday, Goya Foods will donate 1 million pounds of food nationwide as a part of its “Goya Gives” campaign to prevent hunger and improve nutrition.

Locally, the event will begin at 11 a.m. at Capital Area Food Bank, 645 Taylor St. NE, with a chef demonstrating how to make low-cost, nutritious meals from donated Goya products.
