Dear DiGiorno Customers,
In recent news, the DiGiorno family made an insensitive tweet that involved domestic violence and for this we deeply apologize. Our mistake was an unfortunate accident, but we don’t want to leave it at that, we want to make a difference. We would like to get all of our DiGiorno customers involved in our journey to help bring domestic violence to an end. In regards to the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness month, DiGiorno has released specialty boxes for some of your favorite DiGiorno recipes. Look in your local grocery stores for specially marked packaging with the purple ribbon to see how you can help support the end of domestic violence. Fifteen percent of the proceeds from each purchase will be donated the No More Foundation. To learn more about the organization and ways to give back, visit their website: http://nomore.org/. Domestic violence is a pattern of behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including threats or use of violence. Know the facts: · 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience violence from their partners in their lifetimes · 1 in 3 teens experience sexual or physical abuse or threats from a boyfriend or girlfriend in one year · 1 in 5 women are survivors of rape · 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men have experienced some form of sexual violence in their lives · 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men were sexually abused before the age of 18 Here are some signs you can learn to recognize in case there is someone in need of help or support: · Exerting strict control (financial, social and/or appearance) · Needing constant contact including excessive texts and calls · Insulting a partner in front of other people · Extreme jealousy · Showing fear around a partner · Isolation from family and friends · Frequent canceling of plans at the last minute · Unexplained injuries or explanations that don’t quite add up We here at DiGiorno are extremely grateful for your continued support and we hope that you will help us on this journey to help those in need and end domestic violence.
