Expands partnership with the National Hispanic Council on Aging
Herbalife Nutrition, a premier global nutrition company, together with the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation, has announced an expanded partnership with the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA), the US based organization working to improve the lives of older Hispanic adults, their families and caregivers.
The partnership empowers the aging Hispanic population with necessary tools to support their health by providing access to healthy nutrition, as well as nutrition education and fitness programs to promote healthy aging. NHCOA joins the Company’s growing network of nonprofit organizations under its Nutrition for Zero Hunger (NFZH) initiative, further demonstrating the often-overlooked effects of hunger and malnutrition in different communities.
Herbalife Nutrition has partnered with NHCOA since 2014, supporting their health and nutrition programs, including their senior housing facility, Casa Iris, ensuring all residents have access to healthy nutrition.
Over the six-year partnership, the Company has contributed nearly $200,000 to support ongoing programs, including over $60,000 of healthy nutrition products. In 2020, due to the overwelming needs of the community, the Company further supported Casa Iris residents with healthy nutrition needs, including individual nutrition packages containing products, blenders, healthy snacks and nutrition education materials including tips and heathy recipes.
The continued partnership under NFZH supports NHCOA’s health and well-being programs, which consist of training sessions focused on health priorities including prevention and risk factors of diabetes, obesity, and cancer, and also promotes heathy eating habits and physical activity.
