The delivery of resources is part of OXXOs commitment to the community of Monterrey and its interest in contributing to its development and positive transformation. The four civic society organizations that received the support of OXXO customers, are:

  • Rosa Blanca Meal Center (Trash for Food A.C.) that will benefit more vulnerable people through food and nutrition, medical services, education, and basic necessities.

  • Modelo de Formación Integral Diseña el Cambio A.C. (Integral Training Model Design the Change NPO) that will empower more girls, boys, and young people to become agents of change.
  • Vida Nueva sin PSORIASIS A.B.P. (New Life without PSORIASIS, Public Charity) that will help more people to get access to treatments and therapies to fight the disease.

When receiving the resources, María Fernanda Vara Martínez, President of the Organization Modelo de Formación Integral Diseña el Cambio A.C (Integral Training Model Design the Change NPO said that within her institution, “through a school competition, students carry out projects that improve their environment, and those that achieve a greater impact are rewarded.

The OXXO Customers Rounding Program will allow us to award more prizes to children and young people from our state who adopt the Feel, Imagine, Do and Share methodology; to reward their effort and motivate them to continue being part of this movement, thus becoming the heroes that our state needs. “

For his part, Clemente Benavides Mora, Human Resources Manager of OXXO’s Plaza Monterrey Sur, added “we thank our customers for their contributions and trust, our store mates for continuing to join the program, as well as each of the institutions of the civic society here present who work for the people of our city. We hope to continue working with you in the future, because without all of you this would not be possible”
