Charity Begins Major 2 Year Initiative to Give Immediate Help and Long term Support to the Children

Nourish America needs your help. The devastating earthquake this week in Haiti has prompted Nourish America to broaden its support beyond the U.S. shores initiating an extensive relief effort and a two year support program for the victims of the earthquake, with a particular focus on the children. The children of Haiti make up almost 50% of the country's population. With the devastating losses from the quake and aftershocks, tens of thousands of these children are likely to be devastated by the trauma from the disaster as well as from the loss of their parents. Nourish America's committment is to support these children in the recovery and reconstruction of their lives for two full years.

Nourish America has partnered with the National Foundation for Women Legislators bringing together resources to create a reliable network of distribution for all supplies we provide. But we need your help. Your cash gift will save lives.

Since Hurricane Katrina landed on the Gulf Coast in 2005, Nourish America has rushed to the rescue hundreds of thousands of children and their families who were victims of disasters. Nourish America provided millions of dollars worth of high level nutritional products to bolster the health, the well-being and outlook of disaster victims when they needed it most. Thanks to generous donors such as Tishcon Corp., Pfizer, NOW Foods, New Chapter, Natural Alternatives International, Clif Bar & Company, Solo GI Nutrition, Aveda, Kay's Naturals, Nature's Plus, Natural Organics, Univera and many, many others, victims have received supplies of protein bars, meal replacements drinks, multi-vitamins, nutritional supplements, high protein snacks and body care products - all supporting the ability of victims to begin to handle their emotions and rise to the challenges that face them.

Nourish America's relief efforts are effective and award-winning. In fact, the Texas House of Representatives acknowledged Nourish America's Hurricane Ike Relief Effort with a resolution signed by the Speaker of the House in early 2008.
