The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF) has announced the opening of its
second Casa Herbalife program in Texas.
The new grant will support The Wilkinson Center’s HEALTHYBody program,
which teaches children how to lead a healthy lifestyle through nutrition
education and physical activity. It is a comprehensive curriculum that
addresses body image, eating, fitness, and weight concerns and seeks to
prevent eating disorders and obesity.
Through this grant, HFF will assist The Wilkinson Center in funding its
work in promoting health and wellness among the 400 children, ages 6-13,
who currently benefit from the organization’s programming and services.
Established in 1982, the Wilkinson Center is a dynamic service provider
for families struggling to escape poverty, providing services throughout
nine zip codes in east and southeast Dallas, including Pleasant Grove.
The Casa Herbalife program is HFF’s flagship nutrition program, which
offers grants to non-profit organizations that provide supportive,
social services to underprivileged children around the world in the
areas of nutrition education, kitchen reconstructions, meals and other
programs that support children’s good nutrition.
The Casa Herbalife program was established in 2005, to help bring good
nutrition to children living in orphanages, after school centers, and
other non-profit facilities. After the initial financial grants made by
HFF, the organizations receive local financial and volunteer support
from Herbalife independent distributors, as well as corporate employees.
