The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation dedicated to improving children's lives by helping
organizations provide healthy nutrition to vulnerable youth, today
announced a $5,000 donation from its Casa Herbalife Program to the
Winston-Salem YWCA for their Best Choice Center program. The
program is academically focused and provides after school care and
enrichment activities to children in the community, and currently
serves 136 children.
“Academics and child enrichment are pivotal to expanding a
child’s outlook on world and the possibilities that lay ahead for
them,” said Marilyn Odom, vice president of youth services at the
Best Choice Center at the YWCA. “We greatly value the support and
our relationship with The Herbalife Family Foundation.”
The Casa Herbalife Program, established in 2005, helps bring
good nutrition to children living in orphanages, using after school
centers, and other non-profit facilities around the world tasked
with helping underserved young people. In addition to the annual
financial grants made by the Herbalife Family Foundation, the
organizations receive local financial and volunteer support from
independent Herbalife Nutrition distributors, as well as Herbalife
Nutrition employees. The program provides more than $2.7 million in
funding and volunteer assistance each year to more than 130
programs in more than 50 countries. These funds bring nutrition to
more than 100,000 children in 50 countries on a daily basis.
“The Herbalife Family Foundation is dedicated to improving the
lives of children around the world,” said Jenny Perez, director of
the Herbalife Family Foundation. “We continue to be a proud
supporter of the YWCA and the impactful work they do every day in
the community.”
In 2016, Herbalife Nutrition employees volunteered more than
8,200 hours at local non-profits and schools in Winston-Salem and
surrounding communities.
