The Herbalife Family Foundation and LA Galaxy
Foundation donate $10,000 to serve more than 1,200 Los Angeles
community members this Thanksgiving at A Place Called Home
The Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF), long-time non-profit
youth center partner A Place Called Home (ACPH), and the LA Galaxy
Foundation distributed and served Thanksgiving dinner to more than
1,200 Los Angeles families earlier today.
Herbalife Family Foundation officials, LA Galaxy outside back
and five-time U.S. Open Cup champion James Riley, versatile
defender A.J. DeLaGarza, and goalie Jaime Peneda were on site in
the early morning at ACPH to distribute food and turkeys to
families planning on cooking their meal at home. Additionally,
staff and players served dinner, bussed tables, and interacted with
guests throughout the day.
“Herbalife is committed to providing healthy, nutritious food to
families in Los Angeles and around the world,” said Michael O.
Johnson, Herbalife Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Serving
communities and partnering with local organizations is part of
Herbalife’s ethos. We are proud to be part of today’s event and
honored to help give back to our local LA community.”
“We are excited to give back to our community and create a new
partnership with A Place Called Home,” said LA Galaxy President
Chris Klein. “We are honored to be a part of APCH’s Thanksgiving
celebration and look forward to serving our local community with
our partner Herbalife.”
“In a neighborhood where too many families are struggling and
children are going to bed hungry, we are extremely grateful to the
Herbalife Family Foundation and the LA Galaxy Foundation for
partnering with us to provide an abundant holiday,” said Jonathan
Zeichner, executive director, APCH. “In this very chaotic world,
it’s easy to feel overwhelmed -- but here's an example of making a
tangible difference right here and now.”
“This partnership between the LA Galaxy, Herbalife and A Place
Called Home is a model of success and I am proud to have them
working in our community,” said CA Assemblyman Reggie
Jones-Sawyer. “Every family should have a blessed Thanksgiving and
today’s food donation and meal service will go a long way towards
making that a reality for the hundreds of families joining us.”
