According to own general informations XanGo extended partnership with the charity organisation AmeriCares. Together with the donations of XanGo distributors, a full container of XanGo Meal packs – enough to provide approximately 80,000 meals – is reaching rural areas of El Salvador as part of the Libras de Amor, or Pounds of Love, program. Pounds of Love aims to reduce the rate of malnutrition, specifically among young children and expecting and lactating mothers, and the XanGo Meal Packs provide that much-needed sustenance to those suffering from chronic malnutrition and illness.

Distributed through a grant from the XanGo Goodness program, in partnership with global health and disaster relief organization AmeriCares, the XanGo Meal Packs are purchased by individual XanGo distributors around the globe. Since the end of 2007, almost 2 million meals have been donated by the company’s distributors and other well-wishing individuals.

“Improving the quality of life of people is a core value at XanGo, and the success of our Meal Pack program continues to show how our generous XanGo distributors embrace this value every day,” said XanGo Founder and Chairman Aaron Garrity. “As a partner with AmeriCares, XanGo is pleased to be making an impact in reversing malnutrition, especially in El Salvador with Pounds of Love. The extension and reach of the Meal Pack program reminds us how we can easily be linked around the world by our humanity and the idea that even one individual can make a difference.”

The XanGo Meal Packs, formulated with a high-density oat flour base containing essential fats, minerals and vitamins, are designed to nourish those suffering from chronic malnutrition and undernourishment. The Meal Packs are used in hospitals, clinics and refugee centers. Since the program launched in October 2007, these meals have been served in Cambodia, Malawi, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Myanmar, Haiti and El Salvador.
