Mars, Incorporated today announced a $1M grant through the Mars Impact Fund to World Central Kitchen (WCK) to support communities impacted by the devastating earthquakes that struck northern Venezuela. The funding will help provide more than 200,000 fresh meals to people affected by the disaster, accompanying additional on-the-ground efforts already underway by Mars and its brands.
Mars and WCK have partnered together since 2022 to help prepare and deliver fresh, nourishing meals to those affected by crises worldwide. WCK provides on-the-ground food distribution for families in need and has served more than 600 million nourishing meals worldwide since its founding in 2010.
"As a family-owned, principles-led business, our hearts go out to the families whose lives have been devastated by this earthquake," said Michelle Grogg, Executive Director of the Mars Impact Fund. "In times of crisis, Mars believes we have a responsibility to utilize our global resources to support the recovery of impacted communities. We are honored to partner with World Central Kitchen, whose team has the immediate on-the-ground expertise and local relationships needed to deliver hot meals and critical relief to families when they need it most."
The grant complements additional relief efforts being supported directly by Mars businesses. Mars South America businesses have donated more than 5 tons of food products such as cereal, snack food and pet food through local food banks to support people and pets affected by the earthquake.
WCK activated its response within hours of the disaster, working alongside local restaurants and community partners to prepare and distribute fresh meals to communities most impacted by the earthquakes. To date, WCK has served nearly 500,000 meals across the affected states of Miranda, La Guaira, and Carabobo, working alongside more than 50 local restaurant partners to reach displaced families, first responders, and communities recovering from the earthquake's devastation.
"When the earthquakes struck, our teams and local partners were able to mobilize within hours because of partners like Mars," said Tunde Wackman, Chief Development Officer at World Central Kitchen. "This generous grant from the Mars Impact Fund means we can keep showing up for families across Venezuela with fresh, nourishing meals, and it's a powerful reminder that when we come together, we can help neighbors when it matters most."
Mars is also providing support for its Venezuelan Associates based in Southern Brazil and the deployment of canine search-and-rescue teams from Argentina and Mexico. The search-and-rescue work is funded by the Royal Canin Foundation, the charitable arm of Mars global pet nutrition brand Royal Canin. Additionally, Mars, along with VCA Charities (the nonprofit arm of VCA Animal Hospitals network) and Royal Canin U.S., have sponsored the deployment of the Los Angeles Task Force 2 Urban Search and Rescue team, which is actively supporting emergency response efforts on the ground.

Lockheed Martin Advances Trident II D5 Modernization with $850M Award
Contract supports next phase of life extension program while expanding workforce to deliver critical sea-based American deterrent capabilities
TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has been awarded an $850 million contract modification from the U.S. Navy to continue design and development of the Trident II D5 Life Extension 2 (D5LE2) program - a critical piece of the nation's nuclear triad. The U.S. Departmentof War announced the award in April.
The Trident II D5 strategic weapon system remains a cornerstone of U.S. deterrence, recognized for its accuracy, reliability and operational performance. Originally developed in the 1980s and modernized through a life extension effort completed in 2017, the system is being further advanced to ensure its effectiveness into the 2040s and beyond.
"Lockheed Martin is fully committed to the mission as we move forward into this next phase," said Eric Scherff, vice president of Lockheed Martin's Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) Program. "This award marks another important step along the way as we continue delivering a credible and resilient deterrent for the American forces and allies."
WHY IT MATTERS
Submarine-launched ballistic missiles are the sea-based leg of the nation's nuclear triad, alongside intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear-capable bombers. Representing approximately 70 percent of deployed strategic deterrent capability, the sea-based leg provides unmatched survivability, persistent presence and operational flexibility.
A strong, modern deterrent remains essential to American national security and allied assurance. Through continued investment in programs like D5LE2, Lockheed Martin is advancing technologies that strengthen deterrence and support the warfighter in an evolving threat environment.
CAREERS THAT SUPPORT AMERICAN DEFENSE
To support this critical work, Lockheed Martin is expanding its workforce across multiple locations and actively recruiting engineers, technicians and other professionals who are passionate about national security and innovation. Opportunities are available for those seeking to contribute to a mission with a global impact.
Work will be performed in Colorado, Florida, Utah, Washington, Georgia and the National Capital Region.

* * *
England's heatwave quarter-final could help shops and pubs score this weekend
A winning combination of Saturday night's quarter-final against Norway and soaring temperatures could give shops and pubs their biggest sales opportunity of the tournament so far, according to new data from Circana, LLC.
-
Circana data indicatesspending on beer and cider in shops fell by 5.2% during the week of England's opening match against Croatia compared with the same week last year, equivalent to a pound sterling9.3m drop. However drinks sales surged the following week as England's second match coincided with record-high June temperatures.
Shoppers spent 23.1% more on beer and cider year-on-year during the week England played out a draw against Ghana and temperatures reached as high as 37.7 C in some parts of the country, a higher spend equivalent to a pound sterling36.8m increase. Spending on carbonated soft drinks also rose 25.3%, equivalent to pound sterling28.3m, compared to the same week in 2025.
Sales of crisps, snacks and nuts have seen a smaller but steadier increase, rising by 5.6% year on year in the week England played Croatia, equivalent to pound sterling7m more than the same week last year, and 4.2% in the week of the Ghana game, equivalent to pound sterling5m more.
Alex Lawrence, senior strategic insight director for UK CPG at Circana, said: "The early signs are that football alone is not enough to drive up retail sales, with cost-conscious shoppers holding back on the beers and spending only a little more on crisps and snacks as they settled down to watch England's first game of the tournament.
"There was a big rise in drinks sales in the week of England's second game, but this was more likely to have been driven by the record-high temperatures that week. The modest rise in crisps and snacks spending is probably a better guide to the football effect on grocery sales.
"Another rise in drinks sales is very likely this weekend as the hot weather joins forces with a Saturday night quarter-final to give retailers what could be their biggest spending increase since the tournament began four weeks ago."
Seton Leung, head of UK foodservice at Circana, added: "Pub visits are down by around 4% year on year, so operators will be hoping the combination of hot weather and England's quarter-final game will be enough to tempt people out this weekend.
"There were around six million extra pub and bar visits during June and July 2024 as England progressed through the Euros so operators will be keeping their fingers crossed that they play well enough on Saturday night to make it to Wednesday evening's semi-final."
