Business Wire
The global nutrition company will provide meal
replacement products and support senior housing facility Casa Iris’
nutritional program
As part of Herbalife’s (NYSE:HLF) commitment to nutrition at all
stages of life, the company announced a new partnership with the
National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA), the nation's premier
organization working with Hispanic older adults, their families and
caregivers. Through this partnership, Herbalife will provide NHCOA
with shakes, meal replacement bars, and protein bars worth $10,000
to offer to the residents of the organization’s senior housing
facility, Casa Iris. The initiative in the Washington, DC area will
last from April to December 2016. In addition, NHCOA will receive
$15,000 to help fund Casa Iris’ Nutrition Program, which provides
more than 75 facility residents and community members with access
to nutritional education, awareness, meal services, and
activities.
“Currently more than a quarter of seniors in the United States
are hungry or at a nutritional risk,” said Dr. Yanira Cruz, NHCOA
President and CEO. “Given the increased risk for chronic health
conditions arising from hunger and malnourishment, NHCOA is excited
to partner with Herbalife to ensure that the residents of Casa Iris
have access to nutritious food and programming so they can age with
dignity and in the best possible health.”
The partnership was announced during the launch of NHCOA’s Move,
Exercise and Nourish: A Wellness Program at Casa Iris on April 14,
2016. Angela Arboleda, Vice President of Government and Community
Affairs, presented the first installment of product donations and
spoke to the Casa Iris residents about nutrition. Attendees also
sampled Herbalife shakes.
“Herbalife is deeply committed to turning the tide on poor
nutrition in every age group,” said Angela Arboleda, Herbalife’s
vice president for government and community affairs. “Through
partnerships like these, we can bring Herbalife nutrition to people
like the residents of Casa Iris who might not have access to
nutritious foods, and raise awareness regarding the importance of
maintaining healthy, active lifestyles.”
