Nutrition Company Joins Charity in
Celebrating Father’s Day at Griffith Park
Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) employees
volunteered and hosted Union Rescue Mission’s (URM) first Father’s
Day Picnic and Barbecue at Griffith Park on June 27, 2015.
As part of the company’s ongoing support of URM’s social and
educational program activities, Herbalife employees collected and
donated gift items that ranged from socks and deodorant to shaving
cream and other grooming toiletries for over 100 men participating
in URM’s Christian Life Discipleship Program (CLDP), an intense,
in-depth, year-long plan designed to help men understand the root
causes of their homelessness and why their lives aren’t working —
and then to rebuild their lives on a solid biblical foundation and
lasting solutions.
Twenty Herbalife employee volunteers hosted the catered lunch
for 200 participants and their families, as well as URM staff. Some
of the activities for the men and their children included clown
entertainment, magic tricks, face painting and animal balloons for
children, as well as hot dogs, hamburgers and other complimentary
refreshments.
“At Herbalife we take great pride in partnering with URM and
supporting their various social and community building activities.
Herbalife employee involvement at these activities is second to
none. Our volunteers understand that giving back to the community
is not just one of Herbalife’s core values, but also part of the
cultural fabric that makes the company a good corporate citizen in
the city of Los Angeles, as well as around the world in the many
countries where it operates,” said Diahanna Brown, Herbalife’s vice
president of worldwide events.
Herbalife has been a proud partner and supporter of URM for six
years and provides daily healthy shakes to 500 low income and
homeless program participants in downtown Los Angeles. The company
and its employee volunteers have had a staple presence in various
annual fundraising and special events hosted by the charity,
including Hearts of Hope Annual Gala, The Annual Spring Golf
Classic, the Mother’s Day Luncheon at Hope Gardens, and its
Thanksgiving Luncheon.
“Thanks to Herbalife and other partners for providing a Father's
Day Picnic filled with recovering, hopeful URM dads connecting with
their children for the day, and restored grads of URM reuniting
with their families and children,” concluded Reverend Andy Bales,
Union Rescue Mission's chief executive officer.
