Providing Aid in Times of Greatest Need
Heinz has an enduring legacy of providing humanitarian aid to communities affected by natural disasters. When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the southern United States in September 2005, Heinz provided more than $1 million in assistance, reflecting contributions by employees and Heinz affiliates, with support from the Company Foundation. In May 2006, Heinz provided muchneeded aid and food supplies when an earthquake in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, killed nearly 5,800 people and injured thousands more. Also notable, in February 2007, Heinz provided assistance to flood victims in Jakarta, Indonesia, through a donation of $20,000 to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society.
