Vitamin Angels

Give to Vitamin Angels for the Holidays

If you really want to make a difference during the holidays this year, you might consider making a small donation to Vitamin Angels, a non-profit that is saving the lives of millions of children. At a minimum, please take 5 or 10 minutes to learn about what this organization is doing. Click here to read a short summary of the "Operation 20/20" program which has reached more than 23 million children at risk of permanent blindness due to simple vitamin A deficiency. Click here to read a short summary of the "Thrive to Five" program that is delivering over 100 million doses of essential micronutrients to at-risk children under 5 in 20 countries including the U.S. This group is so efficient (and operates on private donations by people and companies, not government money), that it can provide the basic micronutrients to a child to prevent deficiency for $1. You can make a donation large or small by clicking on the "donate" button on the Vitamin Angels website. Or, you can even donate by shopping with the many retailers and websites that are running programs to raise money for this group. Click here to see all of the stores and websites you can shop at to help. Have a great holiday season, and thanks for taking a few moments to learn about this really amazing group. Also, special thanks to DSM for making the SupplySide West Opening Reception at TAO to create awareness of Vitamin Angels such a great event. To see some of the photos, click here.
