Rolando Mireles, Monterrey OXXO Operations Manager, acknowledged the program’s importance
when commenting that “the delivery of these donations makes us proud and motivates us to keep
joining efforts with local institutions that have a positive impact on society by benefitting and helping
our communities”.
Among the beneficiary institutions is Refugio 21, Casa Hogar, A.C., whose goal is to provide a home for
children and adolescents who are at risk, so that they can later reintegrate them safely and healthy to
a new family.
“We are infinitely grateful to each of the people who make the OXXO Customer Rounding Program at
Monterrey possible. Thank you for giving us your unconditional support and working hard on behalf of
the different civil society organizations that work to provide equal opportunities to those less
fortunate. We are also very grateful to each of the clients that made it possible to collect this amount,
which will allow us to fully comply with our hospitality, food, clothing, education and health programs,

bill and donate, as well as to all the people who did. With the donation we receive today we’ll be able
