Journey For Good Marks 10 Years of Fighting Poverty with $1 Million in New Grants and $5 Million in Total Giving

17/09/2025
Avolta’s Journey For Good Foundation, a nonprofit committed to combating poverty proudly celebrates a major milestone: awarding nearly $1 million in new grants to 39 charitable organizations across the U.S. and Canada. This latest round of funding brings the Foundation’s lifetime giving total to over $5 million, marking a decade of meaningful impact and community partnership.

Founded as the charitable arm of Avolta in North America, Journey For Good has supported over 150 nonprofits working to relieve hunger, combat homelessness, empower youth through education, and provide job training and placement with a focus on the hospitality industry.

The Foundation’s work is an extension of the broader, community involvement of Avolta’s team members across North America, supporting volunteer, food donation, fundraising, and environmental programs. In recent years, Hudson celebrated its own 15-year philanthropic partnership with Communities In Schools, raising over $5 million through point-of-sale donations that helped empower 500,000 students, providing them with vital resources for success.

“This is a moment of reflection and celebration,” said Journey For Good Foundation Chairman Steve Johnson. “Over the past decade, we’ve partnered with hundreds of organizations to uplift communities and provide critical resources to those facing poverty and homelessness. Our journey has been powered by the generosity of travelers, the dedication of Avolta team members, and numerous industry partners who believe in making a difference in the communities we serve.”

Funding for these grants comes from voluntary donations made by travelers at Avolta-operated dining, retail, and duty-free locations where can customers round up purchases to support the Foundation. 

“We are deeply grateful to the travelers, team members, and sponsors who have helped us reach this milestone,” said Jordan Silverman, Director of Journey For Good Foundation. “Their support has transformed lives and strengthened nonprofit safety nets across North America.”
