[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vimenti, Rovira Foods and Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico seek to cultivate the habit of saving by using the cans of Export Sodas crackers as piggy banks\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(San Juan, Puerto Rico – February 23, 2021) Vimenti<\/b> by Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico<\/b> (BGCPR) and Rovira<\/b> Foods<\/b> delivered more than 2,000 cans of <\/b>Rovira<\/b> Export Sodas crackers<\/b> to residents of Vimenti and BGCPR communities. Beyond giving food to the neediest families in Puerto Rico, the alliance seeks to encourage the habit of saving by educating participants and encouraging the reuse of the <\/b>Rovira<\/b> tin as a piggy bank<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA piggy bank can transform the future of our children and youth. If we teach through practice about the importance of creating the habit of saving, youth will understand it\u2019s lifelong benefits.\u201d said Lola Yglesias, Vimenti’s Director of Operations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to this alliance with Vimenti and BGCPR, our product can benefit low-income communities by encouraging their members to create a savings model. In the long run, this will allow them to increase their chances of success and to achieve financial stability and a secure future. It will be a fun way for our children to foster a good habit, \u201dsaid Mar\u00eda Eugenia Argomaniz, Marketing Manager for Rovira Foods.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the initiative of our allies and collaborators: Rovira Foods and Vimenti. Our communities can count on efforts like this, which in addition to feeding, promote the habit of saving in an entertaining way, complementing our programs that promote the economic security of our participants and their families,\u201d said Joan Rivera, Director of Operations for BGCPR.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon delivering the crackers cans, Vimenti participants and community members received an invitation to use the cans to create a piggy bank. Participants are welcome to take pictures of the piggy banks and upload them to their social media accounts by tagging Vimenti and Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico with the hashtag #<\/b>ConstruyendoMiFuturo<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating the foundation for developing good financial habits in a fun way. We also urge the participants to motivate other families to join in and begin to develop a savings model,\u201d Yglesias concluded.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
