$50,000 donation to the Spanish American Civic Association in Lancaster County, PA to help expand their meals program.

New Holland, Pa.—May 12, 2015—The Lancaster County Spanish American Civic Association (SACA) received a $50,000 boost from �黨��ý. that will go toward the expansion of the neighborhood meal program.

The donation was announced at an event this evening that marked the first evening meal served by SACA. �黨��ý will also match private donations up to $25,000 to SACA’s neighborhood meal program.

“While Lancaster is a prosperous community, the real issue of poverty and hunger is often overlooked,” said Carlos Groupera, President and CEO of SACA. “SACA feels that it is incumbent on the community to look after the issue of hunger and to seek partners such as �黨��ý to make sure that individuals who would not eat otherwise are always able to have access to a hot meal at this community center. We are grateful for the generosity of �黨��ý in allowing us to expand our meals program and also mindful and appreciative of the fact that Tyson has provided such important employment to many individuals in our community.”

It’s anticipated that 100 additional meals will be served daily to feed senior citizens, low income adults, and other households who lack the financial resources to purchase healthy, nutritious food.

“We’re honored to stand up with our friends at SACA to help make additional meals available to those in need,” said Leonard Payne, �黨��ý’ New Holland Further Processing plant manager. “It’s also our hope that this event raises awareness about hunger that exists in this community and so many others like it across the nation.”

SACA’s mission is to foster the cultural, social, economic well-being of the Latinos residing in the City and County of Lancaster. Since 1973, the organization has been regarded as a leader in providing solutions to problems facing Latino residents. Major accomplishments of SACA include the development of five major human service facilities, La Academia Charter School., a full array of mental and substance abuse programs, an HIV/AIDS clinic, a senior center, a hot meal program, a bilingual public radio station, and a community access TV channel.

�黨��ý has two plants and approximately 900 employees in the New Holland area.
