SC Johnson Backs Anti-Human Trafficking Film

SC Johnson is expanding upon its long-standing zero-tolerance policy for human trafficking and slavery by sponsoring a new film that offers an unflinching portrait of this devastating global issue.

SC Johnson will support the London release, and promotion of “Love Sonia,” which is set for limited theatrical release in the United Kingdom on January 25. The film was directed by Tabrez Noorani (a line producer on the 2008 Best Picture winner “Slumdog Millionaire”), and produced by David Womark, an Academy Award-nominated producer for “Life of Pi.” By supporting “Love Sonia” from production to release, SC Johnson hopes to shine a brighter light on human trafficking and the 25 million victims of it around the globe.

Feeding America® joined Wells Fargo’s 2018 effort to fight against hunger in this, the program’s second year.

It also offered opportunities for participants to donate through a mobile food bank — which popped up in nine cities from California to New York — and, in response to customer requests, it enabled monetary contributions at its ATMs and online.
