Since 2007, Yum! Brands

has been a vital partner

of WFP with the launch of

their global World Hunger

Relief program. In 2015,

the company elevated

its partnership with the

inception of its Feed

the World Ambassador

program. Yum! Brands CEO,

Greg Creed, and a team

of employees traveled to

Jinotega, Nicaragua, to

meet with local leaders and

WFP to identify how to

help several communities

and schools in the region.

Upon their return, the

group conducted a

three-month fundraising

campaign which included

rallying colleagues around

one cause—improving

local infrastructure for

the students of Jinotega.

Improvements included

rehabilitating and upgrading

schools, providing essential

classroom supplies, and

installing sustainable

irrigation systems and

school gardens. As a result,

the company has helped a

new generation in Jinotega

gain access to quality

education and food. A girl washes her hands at School No. 4 where WFP provides meals to more than 4,500 refugee children, most of whom are from Mali, in the Mbera camp of Bassikounou, Mauritania (© WFP/Agron Dragaj).

Cargill has been a partner

of WFP since 2001,

providing support for a

range of different programs.

“Cargill is helping to build

a sustainable, more food-

secure future. To respond

to the humanitarian crisis,

Cargill’s legal team in

Europe, the Middle East

and Africa are raising funds

for WFP USA to provide

critical food assistance and

humanitarian support to

refugees in Turkey. We know

the time to act is now,” said

Cargill’s Jemma Collins.

Much like in Lebanon,

Jordan, Egypt and Iraq,

Syrian refugees who receive

assistance from WFP are

given e-cards that they can

spend in local grocery stores

on nutritious foods.

from Google.org, WFP was

able to expand its mobile

VAM (mVAM) data collection

activities between 2014

and 2015 in one of the most

challenging emergency

scenarios ever faced—the

Ebola affected countries of

Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea

and Mali. Their support

enabled WFP to collect

critical food security data

remotely and in real time,

reducing exposure of WFP

staff to one of the worst

epidemics in recent history

by keeping them out of the

contagion zones.

One month before major

earthquakes devastated

Nepal in April 2015, WFP

completed the country’s

first humanitarian staging

area. Building on that

preparedness, WFP and UPS

joined forces yet again to

land planes in Kathmandu

for people in need. UPS is

a member of the Logistics

Emergency Team, which

assisted with customs

clearance to process

millions of tons of food and

equipment arriving around

the clock. The worldwide

logistics leader also

provided air ramp support

to offload relief items from

arriving flights and transfer

supplies to transport vehicles

as quickly as possible.

This enabled aid agencies

to quickly and efficiently

deliver relief items in the

earthquake’s immediate

aftermath when time saved

meant lives saved.

Our Supporters

PepsiCo Foundation

In 2015, PepsiCo Foundation

contributed $1.3 million

to WFP school meals and

nutrition programs and

helped provide life-saving

food in two of the world’s

largest humanitarian crises—

Nepal and Syria. A partner

to WFP since 2007, PepsiCo

Foundation celebrated the

company’s 50 years with a

“50 for 50 Community Give

Back” program to strengthen

WFP’s assistance in Chad,

Ecuador, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan

and Palestine. PepsiCo

Foundation continues to

elevate the company’s ethos

of Performance with Purpose,

committing itself to a world

of Zero Hunger with WFP.

Private Sector Partners

WFP’s work would not be possible without committed supporters. Because WFP is entirely

funded by voluntary contributions, WFP USA works with the U.S. government, the private

sector, foundations and individuals to ensure that the agency has the resources it needs to fight

hunger on a global scale. WFP USA’s most powerful partnerships encompass all aspects of

engagement, including employee giving, in-kind assistance and financial support.

JP Morgan Chase Foundation

During an eight-week

challenge, JPMorgan Chase

encouraged its employees to

participate in a virtual walk

to nine of the company’s

global locations, from New

York City to Sydney, Australia.

During the “Stepping up for

World Hunger”campaign,

participants logged 28 billion

steps and walked over 14

million miles. Through their

efforts, JPMorgan Chase

donated 1.6 million meals to

World Food Program USA to

feed the hungry and, at the

same time, promoted healthy

living among their employees.

Bank of America Charitable Foundation

In 2015, the Bank of America

Charitable Foundation

contributed to WFP USA’s

Emergency Response Fund,

delivering critical support

for WFP’s crisis relief

efforts, including assistance

to humanitarian response

operations in Syria. 2015

marked the 10th anniversary

of the bank’s partnership

with WFP USA. Through

cash grants and employee-

matching gifts, the bank’s

foundation has helped WFP

deliver millions of meals to

hungry men, women and

children across the globe.
