The agreement provides for Herbalife to give protein bars to the Red Cross on an ongoing basis for emergencies, and in increased quantities in the case of local disasters. The Red Cross will also help to educate Herbalife employees on disaster preparedness.
"This is a very important feeding agreement for the Red Cross as we work towards preparing LA for a large scale disaster, having Herbalife's gift of protein bars to provide food across Los Angeles County," said Paul Schulz, Red Cross Los Angeles CEO. "Red Cross is very thankful for its partnership with Herbalife at all levels. They support our mission through blood drives, board leadership and financial contributions such as a recent $125,000 donation to aid the people of Japan."
