Calling all PepsiCo employees... It's time to Move for Good! Join PepsiCo’s six-week global movement challenge, in partnership with the PepsiCo Foundation, and every step you take will fuel meal donations to Food Forward South Africa, where 1 in 5 of households are food insecure. Help us meet our goal of 8 billion steps, which will lead to the donation of 4 million meals. This year’s Move for Good challenge runs July 1 – August 12. If you’re part of the PepsiCo team, I encourage you to join. Together, we can take steps to help local communities.

For far too many kids, summer break means food insecurity. As many as 30 million students rely on school meals for a significant portion of their daily nutrition. Through our Food for Good efforts, we're working to feed potential year-round, regardless of whether school is in session. Take a look at the PepsiCo Foundation 2023 Global Impact Report to learn more about how our hashtag #FoodforGood team works with local partners to bridge the summer meal gap through initiatives like home-delivery meal programs. https://lnkd.in/ePC_ktUX

We’re #PepsiCoProud of all the PBNA Orlando volunteers who recently took part in the West Orange Habitat For Humanity #WomensBuild2024! As part of the PepsiCo Foundation and PepsiCo's ongoing commitment to supporting the communities where our employees live and work, over 40 PepsiCo employees donned their pink hard hats and came together to help to build 4 homes for deserving individuals. But that's not all - in addition to volunteering their time, this remarkable group doubled its fundraising efforts from last year. Alongside PepsiCo's employees, we're honored to support local partners like West Orange Habitat for Humanity.

As CEO and Co-Founder of Code2College, Matt Stephenson is leveraging corporate volunteerism to eliminate the structural and economic barriers to entry for Black and brown students interested in pursuing STEM majors and careers.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay and beyond, we all have a role to play in protecting our planet's precious water resources 🌍 Through our PepsiCo Foundation safe water efforts, we're working to address the global water crisis one sip at a time, through programs and partnerships that positively impact both people and the planet. Check out the video below for a spotlight on our efforts in Black Diamond, Matatiele with WWF South Africa, Environmental & Rural Solutions, and local changemaker Tukulo Mtshayelo. Working together, we were able to help protect and restore critical springs to provide clean, potable water to the community, moving closer to our goal of reaching 100 million people with safe water access by 2030.
