The FFG Model
Food for Good’s collaboration with PepsiCo, local partners, and government agencies is at the center of our unique approach to fighting childhood hunger.
Non-Profit Partnerships
Non-profit organizations have a deep understanding of the needs in the communities we serve and are at the heart of what we do. Through their insight, we’ve been able to create a customizable model that meets the unique needs of each community, ensuring our program is both effective locally and scalable nationally.

Our objective is to make nutritious food more physically and financially accessible for low-income families. We achieve this by leveraging PepsiCo’s cross-sector support and expertise, community insight, and non-profit partnerships.

Our Disaster Relief Efforts
When hurricanes ravaged the coasts of Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico in late summer of 2017, it resulted in billions of dollars in damage and left thousands without food or shelter. PepsiCo immediately pledged to help those affected.
Through the Food for Good initiative, 1 million meals were delivered to those impacted by the natural disasters.
Innovation
Food for Good worked with PepsiCo's highly-awarded Research and Development team to develop several innovative solutions that help local nonprofits with food storage and delivery, including:
- A "cold box technology" that allows perishable food products to be transported within ambient trucks, which are more environmentally friendly and cost efficient than refrigerated trucks.
- Hot food transportation solutions that keep meals hot for more than four hours.
- More cost effective and environmentally friendly packaging for meals.
