Rome-based olive oil giant spreads holiday cheer with donation to local charities

January 7, 2025

This past holiday season, Sovena USA, one of the world’s largest olive oil producers headquartered in Rome, NY, demonstrated its commitment to the community with a generous series of donations.

On behalf of its employees, Sovena provided hundreds of bottles of cooking oil and numerous turkeys to local nonprofits including the Utica Rescue Mission, Rome Rescue Mission, Feed Our Vets, and the Rome Salvation Army. In addition to the food, Sovena contributed $15,000 to local charitable organizations to help support their efforts during the season of giving.

In an interview with WKTV, David Winberg, Director of Human Resources at Sovena USA, shared:

“Each year, we are proud to be able to support our own employees and those in the community who may need it most.”

“Our mission at Sovena is to bring the plate closer to the land, to support our communities, to foster growth in all areas of business and in our employees’ lives, and to make a difference whenever and wherever we can.”
