PURCHASE, N.Y. – The PepsiCo Foundation announced it will provide $2 million in grants to help communities in Mexico City, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean impacted by the recent natural disasters:

• $1,000,0000 to the American Red Cross for recovery from the earthquake in Mexico City and for relief efforts in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean after Hurricane Maria.
• $1,000,000 to the Pan American Development Foundation to rebuild greater disaster-resilient communities in the Mexico City area and Puerto Rico.

"PepsiCo is committed to supporting our communities in a time of need. Over the past week, we've offered that support once more, working closely with relief organizations in Mexico, the Caribbean and the United States to help communities devastated by recent natural disasters," said Indra K. Nooyi, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo. "We stand with the people of Mexico City, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean as they begin the work of recovering and rebuilding."

Together with these contributions, PepsiCo and The PepsiCo Foundation have contributed more than $6.5 million for disaster relief over the past month.
