USANA Philippines’ advocacy arm True Health Foundation – Philippines recently partnered with the St. Andrew the Apostle Parish to help the less fortunate members of the community in Makati experience the joys and cheers of the yuletide season even richer and more meaningful.
Led by USANA Philippines’ Independent Distributor Council (IDC) in the country, the program involved a simple yet fun-filled Christmas program for over 100 children and their families, who were all given grocery packs, loot bags and USANA’s nutritional supplement for children, Usanimals.
Discussing the virtue of the program, IDC chairman Bren Evangelista explains that aside from working hand-in-hand with USANA to promote good health among Filipinos, they also pursue activities that would touch other people’s lives and drive sustainability programs for stable community growth. As such, the group decided to focus on one community and push for its sustainability instead of doing one-time projects to a number of random communities. “It’s heart-warming to see children have hope and have fun. It inspires us to do more and help more,” he added.
True Health Foundation’s initiative was welcomed whole-heartedly by the parish and its member families. “We are happy that USANA decided to extend their help so that the program becomes extra special,” notes Msgr. Dennis Odiver. “Normally, we only give the grocery packs. Ngayon, meron pang mga bata na kasama. Party for them, games, food. We have partnered with other companies pero ito ang well-organized, napag-usapan, mas napagplanuhan.”
Aside from the partnership with St Andrew the Apostle, True Health Foundation is also currently in collaboration with Cornerstone to promote education among the Filipino youth.
