Herbalife supporters gather in Grand Park
More than 4,000 Southern California residents—Herbalife members
and other supporters—are gathering at Grand Park today in front of
Los Angeles City Hall to tell local legislators about their
experiences with Los Angeles-based Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), and show
their support for the global nutrition company.
The rally comes as Herbalife members from across Southern
California—from San Diego to San Bernardino—visit Los Angeles City
Hall to meet with key Los Angeles City Hall leaders and share how
Herbalife is helping them lead healthier, more active lives, and
offering those who are interested an opportunity to earn full-time
or supplemental income selling the company’s nutrition
products.
“Herbalife has provided me the opportunity to achieve the
healthy, active lifestyle I’ve always dreamed of,” said Aubrey
Clarke, a Los Angeles-based member. “I am excited about the
opportunity to go to my home town City Hall to tell my legislators
just how important Herbalife has been to helping me achieve my
personal fitness and financial goals.”
Several civic leaders familiar with the company spoke with the
group in Grand Park. Carol Schatz, president and CEO of the Central
City Association, said, “Herbalife has played an important role in
the economic vitality of Los Angeles. They participate as an
excellent corporate citizen, helping to make Los Angeles a great
place to live and work.”
Executive Director of A Place Called Home Jonathan Zeichner
said, “The Herbalife Family Foundation has been a major supporter
of A Place Called Home since 2005 and has helped us respond to food
insecurity in South Central Los Angeles by providing daily healthy
meals and ongoing nutrition education for young people and
families.“ He added, “We value our long-term relationship with HFF,
and appreciate the resources and the tremendous volunteer support
we receive from Herbalife members and employees.”

contribution in California. It currently has six manufacturing and
distribution facilities, and there are 1,500 employees and more
