Natural disaster aid

In order to respond quickly to the needs of communities affected by natural disasters, GRUMA has developed programs to aid or benefit victims, whether in temporary shelters or in their homes, helping them to recover what they have lost.

In order to act quickly and to satisfy the basic nutritional needs of communities affected by natural disasters, through the supply of fresh, warm tortillas, theTorti-móviles were created.

There are currently seventeen of these mobile tortilla distributors in operation, supplying fresh tortillas to people living in temporary shelters or elsewhere in affected zones.

Support has been provided to natural disaster areas in Mexico and Central America.

Support of affected people because of Hurricane ODILE in Baja California Sur  .

GRUMA has donated: 10 tons of corn flour (Maseca 1 kg), 1,200 pantries with basic meals, 2,000 liters of bottled water and has sent to the disaster area three Torti-moviles, in other words mobile tortillerías, which can produce 36,000 tortillas per day, 1,000 kilograms each, i.e. 3,000 kilos of warm tortillas for immediate consumption.

The Torti-moviles will stay at the disaster zone and will be giving away free hot tortillas until the emergency has finished.  

In addition, the company enabled three tortillerías (2 in La Paz and one in San José de el Cabo), which are developing and delivering hot tortilla to affected people, for free, in the Centre, Agustin Olachea and Rosarito colonies.
