BUFFALO, N.Y. — PepsiCo and Feed the Children, along with corporate partners, on Wednesday helped out families in the Buffalo, N.Y., area with food essentials and also supplied Avon products. Eight-hundred families paid a visit to Buffalo Charter School and were able to take home boxes containing essentials.



Feed the Children, PepsiCo, Tops Markets, Buffalo Dream Center and Avon provided the following goods to help support a family of four for up to a week: 25 lbs. of food, 10 lbs. of essentials, a box of Avon products, Frito-Lay variety packs, Quaker and Rice-A-Roni products, Pepsi-brand beverages and fresh produce, as well as shelf-stable foods donated by Tops Markets. Buffalo Dream Center pre-identified the families receiving donations.

"PepsiCo, its employees and our friends at Tops Markets are not just providing food and essentials today."
