Xango reaches ONE MILLION meal packs! Check out the Press Release

LEHI, UT – XanGo, LLC announces a significant milestone in its efforts to feed severely malnourished children and adults around the world, with the donation of its 1 millionth meal through the XanGo Meal Pack program. Distributed through a grant from the XanGo Goodness charity program in partnership with global health and disaster relief organization AmeriCares, the XanGo Meal Packs provide needed sustenance to those suffering from chronic malnutrition, illness, displacement due to war or natural disaster and extreme poverty across Latin America, Africa and Asia.

“Involvement in important causes and improving the quality of life of others are key values at XanGo, and our ongoing Meal Pack program provides a tangible way for our distributors to practice this virtue,” said XanGo President A. Craig Hale. “Having recently been on the ground with AmeriCares in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I can say with confidence that these meals are being used efficiently and make a true difference in extending the quality of life of their recipients.”

The XanGo Meal Packs, formulated with a high-density oat flour base containing essential fats, minerals and vitamins, are designed to nourish those on the brink of starvation who cannot assimilate solid foods. The Meal Packs are the first step out of starvation for many users. Purchased by individual XanGo distributors around the globe, the Meal Packs are shipped to AmeriCares’ global partners with distribution costs donated through the XanGo Goodness charity program. The Meal Packs are then used in hospitals, clinics and refugee centers. Since the program launched in October 2007, meals have been served in Cambodia, Malawi, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Myanmar, Haiti and El Salvador.

“AmeriCares partnership with XanGo has helped improve access to good nutrition in Cambodia and Malawi,” said Randy Weiss, director of corporate relations at AmeriCares, a nonprofit global health and disaster relief organization. “AmeriCares vision is to help many more people live longer, healthier lives and a healthy diet is an essential component. We look forward to continuing to work with XanGo to deliver donated Meal Packs and provide essential nutrients to help reduce the rates of malnutrition for both children and adults around the world.”
