Herbalife
Nutrition (NYSE: HLF), a premier global nutrition company, recently
announced the launch of the Nutrition
for Zero Hunger global
initiative, pledging $2 million to help end world hunger, ensure
people have access to good nutrition and address rising obesity. The
initiative, with the assistance of nonprofit partners, will focus on
providing access to healthy foods, improving nutrition education,
identifying sustainable food resources and raising awareness of the
global crisis.
In
conjunction with the launch of the initiative, the Company also
announced its partnership with Feed
the Children, a nonprofit
organization committed to defeating childhood hunger worldwide.
Feed the Children has designated
September as Defeat Hunger Month and as a lead partner of Nutrition
for Zero Hunger, Herbalife
Nutrition will support their programs to help end hunger around the
world.
“The
Nutrition for Zero Hunger
initiative addresses key pandemic problems and through our work with
our partners, like Feed the Children, we hope to build
a world where everyone has access to quality food and nutrition,”
said Alan Hoffman, Executive Vice President, Global Corporate
Affairs.
As
a leader in the global nutrition, Herbalife Nutrition was founded,
nearly 40 years ago, on the importance and value of good nutrition,
providing a reliable source of nutritious food through
a network of independent distributors to customers worldwide.
“Feed
the Children is proud to partner with Herbalife Nutrition to address
the important issue of childhood hunger,” said Travis Arnold, Feed
the Children president and CEO. “The problem cannot be tackled
alone. We know that when we combine our efforts, we will have a
greater impact on the lives of families who need us most around the
world.”
Feed
the Children is an organization that is dedicated to supporting
families and communities by providing food assistance and resources
to help achieve stable lives both in the U.S. and internationally in
10 countries. In 2018, Feed the Children distributed 88.6 million
pounds of food and essentials, working with community partners to
support 6.5 million people globally.
In
addition to supporting strategic partnerships,
Nutrition for Zero Hunger aligns

calls for bold action to end hunger in all its forms by 2030, as well

worldwide. Through the $2 million pledge, the Company will:
- Partner with organizations addressing hunger, food security and malnutrition
