PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation are working alongside local and national organizations to support associates and their families in the affected areas, delivering vital resources to people and communities in need.

The ongoing California wildfires are causing widespread devastation across Southern California, displacing thousands of residents and destroying homes and businesses. PepsiCo, which operates across Southern California, has been in constant contact with our associates and their families, providing key safety updates and ensuring they have access to essential resources.

At the same time, the PepsiCo Foundation is contributing $500,000 to both local and national organizations to support relief efforts, including:

  • Delivering 10,000 shelf-stable meals and providing $100,000 to Los Angeles Mission for short-term housing, clean water, clothing and other emergency supplies.
  • Contributing $200,000 to World Central Kitchen to help provide fresh and hot meals to those impacted.
  • Providing $200,000 to Team Rubicon to assist the first responder community with clearing debris and managing on the ground logistics.

In addition, PepsiCo is donating thousands of cases of bottled water and foods to support impacted residents, shelters and first responders.

We have also activated our PepsiCo Foundation PEPhelp program. Any U.S. employees affected by partial or total home loss from the wildfires can apply for support.
