President of Tere Foods, Yeidy Cruz:
Cruz couldn't afford to pay $400 a day to keep the generator running, so the factory closed. It led to more than $90,000 in production losses in just over two months.There was a need for pasteles and pasteles symbolize for Puerto Rican families the happiness of Christmas. And for me, it was important that in a moment so critically emotional, for me, my employees, and for all my community, to bring this type of hope and that we're going to find a way to return to normal.
