LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) announced its first Casa Herbalife program, to help bring good nutrition to children, at Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk e.V. in Berlin. Founded in 1972, Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk e.V. promotes child welfare and provides necessary services to vulnerable children and disenfranchised families.
The initial grant will help support the organization's existing "Children's Kitchen" program which has been providing hot mid-day meals to children and their families since 2004. With the additional support from HFF, the organization will begin offering more nutritious foods and cooking classes for both children and adults to learn skills that can be used at home.
The German Casa Herbalife program is the 62nd Casa Herbalife program worldwide established by HFF. After an initial grant from HFF, local Herbalife independent distributors and employees will support the program through volunteerism and fundraising.
HFF is a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation dedicated to improving children's lives by helping organizations provide healthy nutrition to children at risk. Additionally, HFF often supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters.
