Initiatives to support Feed the Children and
A Place Called Home
In the United States, six million children live in households
where both children and adults don’t have enough to eat. As part of
its recently announced Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative,
premier global nutrition company, Herbalife Nutrition (NYSE:HLF),
today announced it will join the No Hunger Holidays campaign its
nonprofit partner Feed the Children has launched, bringing
awareness to children across the nation who are living with food
insecurity. The Company will host a food drive from November 1-15,
supporting both Feed the Children and A Place Called Home (APCH),
and will also donate proceeds from its co-branded t-shirt sales to
help make a difference in the lives of families who are struggling
to make ends meet this holiday season.
“The holidays are a great time to think about everyone in our
community and the different ways we can give back,” said, Alan
Hoffman, executive vice president, Corporate Affairs, and President
of the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation. “We hope to bring as much
awareness as possible to important issues like food insecurity and
malnutrition, as education is imperative in making sure children
are prepared with the resources they need to succeed.”
According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations, 815 million people in the world suffer from chronic
hunger, and in the U.S., one in seven children doesn’t know where
their next meal will come from. It is especially difficult during
the holiday season when children are out of school, as the
breakfast and lunch meals they regularly receive at school are no
longer available.
The Company’s food drive will collect donations from its office
and manufacturing facilities and approximately 2,600 employees
across the United States to help Feed the Children reach its goal
to bring food and daily essentials to thousands of American
families during the holidays. The food donations will support both
Feed the Children and the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation’s (HNF)
long-time Casa Herbalife Program partner, APCH, located in Los
Angeles.
“We believe that no child should go to bed hungry, especially
during a time full of warmth, love and sharing,” said Travis
Arnold, Feed the Children president and CEO. “But the reality is,
millions of children in our own backyard face this hardship every
day. Thanks to our generous partners such as Herbalife Nutrition,
we are able to help these families rest a little easier knowing
they don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from
this holiday season.”
Additionally, the Company will sell co-branded t-shirts, with
their Nutrition for Zero Hunger slogan, on its apparel website,
with the proceeds supporting Feed the Children’s hunger awareness
initiatives through the end of the year. Herbalife Nutrition also
plans to spread awareness across its social media channels by
sharing impactful messaging as well as its planned volunteer
activations throughout the holidays, using the designated
#ShareYourGood during Feed the Children’s No Hunger Holidays
campaign.
