FBM Foundation donates grocery baskets, personal hygiene kits and water to flood victims in Rio Grande do Sul

FBM Foundation has announced the donation of 500 grocery baskets, 500 personal hygiene kits, and 9,000 liters of water, to be delivered and distributed to struggling communities in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This effort will be carried out in partnership with Central Única das Favelas (CUFA) in Porto Alegre, with J&T Express Brazil and Correios Sedex Brasil providing transportation.

The most recent and devastating Rio Grande natural disasters, that provoked floods, landslides, and extreme weather events, have left communities grappling with immense challenges, from widespread displacement to the destruction of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods.

"Given the context of these calamities and the urgent need to assist these families, FBM Foundation's donation emerged as a powerful alliance dedicated to promoting positive change in communities worldwide. With FBM Brazil’s substantial contribution, the organization aims to make an impact in supporting these communities," a press release read.

"Beyond financial assistance, FBM Foundation recognizes the power of awareness and advocacy in driving meaningful change. Through strategic communication efforts, the organization aims to raise awareness for additional support from like-minded individuals and organizations," the Foundation said in a statement.

The Foundation said that by supporting Rio Grande do Sul, it is reaffirming its commitment to making "a tangible difference in the lives of those in need."

"As a foundation deeply rooted in Brazilian heritage, FBM Foundation takes pride in its origins and the rich cultural background of Brazil. We have a legacy shaped by the spirit of proximity, compassion, and innovation, so we want to honor its Brazilian roots while embracing a global perspective in its solidarity endeavors," said Renato Almeida, Director at the FBM Group.

As it continues its solidarity actions, FBM Foundation extended the invitation to individuals and entities alike to join it in "creating a brighter future for all." Through collective actions, the Foundation says all parties can uplift communities, inspire change, and leave a lasting impact on the world.
