CHICAGO, Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands announced today the results of its annual "United for Change" employee giving campaign, raising more than $500,000 to benefit United Way, United Way member agencies and other nonprofits that align with the diverse interests of Conagra employees.

Conagra's commitment to creating an inclusive culture through partnerships with community and social justice organizations is exemplified throughout this campaign. Designed to increase employees' understanding of the disparities that exist in their communities, United for Change provides an opportunity to directly support effective programs and resources that strengthen and empower individuals who are often marginalized in society.

The United Way has been a core partner for this campaign since 1997.

"Each year, I am humbled by the generosity of our employees during the United for Change campaign," said Robert Rizzo, Senior Director, Conagra Brands Foundation. "While our teams are active participants in philanthropic efforts throughout the year, this outpouring of generosity is especially inspirational as we head into the holiday season.
