Herbalife Nutrition, together with the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation (HNF), through their Nutrition for Zero Hunger (NFZH) initiative, have joined forces with The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN).
GFN is an international nonprofit that works to alleviate hunger in nearly 50 countries. Herbalife’s partnership aims to address the global challenges of hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition. Over a two-year period, GFN will receive a $300,000 grant from HNF to address these issues in regions with the most urgent needs, specifically the Food Bank Incubator Program in Southeast Asia.
“Our partnership with Herbalife Nutrition and the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation is built on a shared understanding of the severity of the global hunger crisis and a common purpose– to nourish our communities and achieve Zero Hunger,” said Lisa Moon, Global FoodBanking Network president and CEO. “With the support from the Nutrition for Zero Hunger initiative, we can ensure we have the capabilities, food, staff and equipment we need to continue supporting and expanding the network that serves so many.”
This new partnership is expected to primarily support GFN’s Southeast Asia Food Bank Incubator program. This program is focused on eliminating hunger and food waste in local communities through food bank development and capacity building. The program will be funded with a specific focus in Indonesia and Vietnam.
Jenny Perez, Executive Director of the Herbalife Nutrition Foundation, said, “The Global FoodBanking Network has decades of experience addressing food insecurity in areas its most needed and shares our mission to prioritize quality nutrition in the process. With the number of people facing hunger continuing to rise, it’s imperative that we support programs that promote sustainable solutions grounded in education, so that no one has to worry about from where or when their next meal will come.”
The GFN’s Food Bank Incubator Program started in 2019. It builds on the valuable lessons the organization has learned through its more than 15 years of operation.
This collaboration, the company said, exemplifies Herbalife’s commitment to nourishing healthy communities through its Nutrition for Zero Hunger campaign.
