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

providing support for a
range of different programs.
“Cargill is helping to build

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

Cargill’s Jemma Collins.
Much like in Lebanon,
Jordan, Egypt and Iraq,
Syrian refugees who receive

given e-cards that they can
spend in local grocery stores
on nutritious foods.

Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea

reducing exposure of WFP
staff to one of the worst

by keeping them out of the

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

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.
