LULAC Kicks Off Campaign For Hunger Relief Across USA
=====================================================


Nation’s Leading Latino Civil Rights Organization Joins with Promotores Unidos
USA to Help Latinos Hard Hit by COVID-19

Washington, DC - The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), in
partnership with Promotores Unidos USA, today announced a $250,000 hunger relief
campaign funded by Corona and Modelo beer brands that will reach several of
America’s largest cities where Latino communities have suffered economically, in
addition to some of the highest rates of impact from the novel coronavirus.

“LULAC is proud to be part of a wonderful partnership with some of the most
well-known brands in the world as well as beloved entertainment giants in music
today,” said Sindy Benavides, Chief Executive Officer of LULAC. “Our one goal as
a team is to help bring sorely needed food to the tables of as many of the
nation’s essential workers in our communities as possible. While others are
working day and night to find a vaccine against COVID-19, LULAC is hard at work
with Corona and Modelo beer brands and Promotores Unidos USA to do everything we
can to bring meals to the families most affected.

The project was created by Promotores Unidos USA and the Corona and Modelo beer
brands with the assistance of the ROOX Agency and seeks to impact the most
vulnerable. The Unidos Por Impacto Hunger Relief campaign features artists
brought by Promotores Unidos USA to help increase awareness and extend the Latino
community’s gratitude to millions of people working daily to keep the country
going during COVID-19. The artists would provide recorded messages of
encouragement to the community, including reminders on the importance of wearing
a mask and social distancing.

"I am so proud to work alongside LULAC, beloved beer brands Corona and Modelo,
and various organizations who share the common values of giving and social
responsibility. This is the time to show solidarity and support to those who need
it the most during frightening and uncertain times," said Pedro Zamora, President
of Promotores Unidos USA.

Partner stores in the campaign include: La Michoacana Meat Market – Dallas and
Houston, Texas; Cermak Produce, Super Espiga – Chicago, Illinois; Numero Uno
Market – Los Angeles, California.

Together, the Corona and Modelo beer brands will contribute $250,000 to the
national Unidos Por Impacto Hunger Relief campaign, which will go directly to
relief efforts supporting families in disproportionately-affected Latino
communities in eight major metro areas across the country.

“Our brands have an established history of giving back to the communities where
we live and work, including initiatives like this one that provide support for
our bar and restaurant partners and their employees,'' said John Alvarado, SVP,
Brand Marketing Beer Division, Constellation Brands.

“We are honored to have our Corona and Modelo beer brands contribute to the work
LULAC and Promotores Unidos are doing to raise awareness of the devastating
impact COVID-19 has on the Latino community and help provide direct relief to
those most in need during this critical time.”

The Unidos Por Impacto Hunger Relief Project includes New York City, Dallas,
Houston, Miami, Chicago, Bakersfield - Tulare, Los Angeles and the San Francisco
Bay Area. The full $250,000 donation from the Corona and Modelo beer brands will
be distributed across these areas to help ensure food security in vulnerable
Hispanic populations. Recipients can apply for gift cards which they will be able
to cash for food items at tiendas, supermercados and bodegas in their
communities. The campaign will also help boost local economies for neighborhood
businesses hurt by the pandemic. The project kicks off Saturday, September 5th,
and will continue for two months through Thursday, October 15th.
