Mannatech Donates $10,000 in Hurricane Relief Supplies to Houston
Mannatech, Incorporated , a leading developer and provider of dietary supplements and skin care solutions, provided a mass donation to benefit Houston residents affected by Hurricane Ike on Friday, Sept. 19, 2008. The donation included $10,000 of food and water, in addition to nearly 6,000 boxes of Mannatech nutritional supplement products.
Mannatech CEO Wayne Badovinus and other executives were on hand Friday morning as the company loaded a truck filled with 5,400 pounds of relief supplies for victims. The company worked with State Representative Senfronia Thompson to identify relief stations most in need. Five Mannatech staff members traveled to northeast Houston to help distribute the supplies.
"Having been in business in Texas for the past 15 years we believe it's important to help fellow Texans in need," said Wayne Badovinus, president and CEO of Mannatech. "Helping others is a way of life for our employees and represents the heart of our company."
Mannatech staff selected two products, MannaBears(TM) supplements and MannaBars(TM) nutrition bars, to send the children and adults affected by the hurricane. MannaBears(TM) supplements deliver the phytonutritional goodness of ten different dehydrated fruit and vegetable powders, including pomegranate juice, which is recognized as an excellent antioxidant. MannaBars(TM) nutrition bars are low-glycemic whole-food nutrition bars, containing soluble fiber and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
