LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With more than 828 million people around the world facing hunger daily, Herbalife, a global health and wellness company and community, and the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF), through their Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative, have expanded their partnership with Feed the Children. With a $550,000 pledge from HNF over a two-year period, the leading anti-hunger organization will provide food, nutrition and education supplies to vulnerable children and families in the U.S., and now internationally across the Philippines, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. As part of this partnership, Herbalife has also committed to an in-kind donation of 10,000 units of its Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix, for inclusion in U.S. food programs during the year.

“As we enter our fourth year of partnership with Feed the Children under our Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative, we’re eager to help even more people around the world enhance their lives through good nutrition,” said Erin Richards-Kunkel, senior director of Strategic Partnership and CSR for Herbalife.

The new pledge will help supplement approximately 300,000 meals to people in need in the U.S. Internationally, the partnership will support Feed the Children’s “First 1,000-Day” campaign, which teaches pregnant mothers how to prepare meals that include essential vitamins and nutrients for themselves and their children, from conception through the first two years of their children’s lives -- promoting the benefits of breastfeeding -- as this is a critical period during which stunting malnutrition in children occurs.

“Children cannot thrive unless their basic needs are met,” said Travis Arnold, president and CEO of Feed the Children. “Widespread global issues like childhood hunger and malnutrition in mothers and children will only be solved when multiple sectors work together. Partners like Herbalife and the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation are vital to our mission of providing hope and resources for those without life’s essentials as we serve vulnerable communities across the United States and around the world.”

Launched in 2019, the Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative aligns with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 2 – Zero Hunger, and focuses on ending world hunger by supporting global nonprofit organizations with critical resources and expertise to ensure people in need have access to good nutrition. Its global partners, programs, and nutrition interventions foster continual improvement in food and nutrition access worldwide and challenges global hunger, while also focusing on creating pathways for sustainable nutrition.
