CHICAGO, Nov. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands announced today the results of its annual "United For Change" employee giving campaign, raising more than $520,000 to benefit United Way, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation (ACLU), and Human Rights Watch. The campaign is designed to increase employees' understanding of the root causes of poverty while also prioritizing issues of racial and social justice. A portion of employee contributions made throughout "United For Change" will also be matched by the Conagra Brands Foundation.

Conagra's strong focus on creating an inclusive culture is exemplified through partnerships with community and social justice organizations. These initiatives create connections that help employees better understand the disparities that exist in their communities and provide an opportunity to support effective programs and resources that strengthen and empower individuals from underrepresented backgrounds.

Throughout the campaign, more than 2,260 employees from 36 facility and office locations across the United States, Mexico, and Canada contributed personally-meaningful gifts to support vital programs in the communities where they live and work. In addition, "United For Change" provides awareness opportunities and a forum for employees to learn from leading nonprofits on topics such as how economic development plays an essential role in the transformation of neighborhoods, and ways to build more equitable communities. The ACLU Foundation, United Way and Human Rights Watch were chosen as partners by Conagra employees for the fundraising campaign.

"Our employees are the heart of our organization and they care deeply about the well-being of their neighbors who are experiencing hunger and inequality," said Robert Rizzo, Senior Director, Conagra Brands Foundation. "While our teams are actively involved in philanthropic efforts year-round, I'm proud of the impact they've made during our United For Change campaign. We remain committed to supporting organizations that help create lasting positive change in the communities our employees call home."
