Global manufacturer's volunteer efforts make
meaningful impact from North
America to the United
Kingdom
HOBOKEN,
N.J., Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hain
Celestial Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAIN), a leading global health and
wellness company whose purpose is to inspire healthier living
through better-for-you brands, is proud of its global teams for
their ongoing commitment to being a positive force for good this
past year through dedicated volunteer efforts.
"At Hain Celestial, we believe in the power of giving back – not
only for the impact it has on the communities we support but also
for the sense of purpose and connection it brings to the team,"
said Chris Jenkins, Hain Celestial
Group's Global Impact Director. "For us, healthier living goes
beyond the products we create. It's about coming together to make a
meaningful difference. I'm incredibly proud of our team members,
who have partnered with inspiring organizations to support causes
that are creating real, positive change for people and the
planet."
To help bring holiday cheer to the children at the Northwest
Arkansas Children's Shelter this Christmas, Hain's Walmart Sales
team volunteered at the Bentonville-based nonprofit that has
provided a haven to more than 13,250 children statewide since its
1993 inception. The team donated more than 150 Hain products –
personal care items, Earth's Best® baby snacks and food,
Garden Veggie Straws® and Flavor Burst™ chips and
Celestial Seasonings® tea – to the shelter, and helped
build two fireplace mantles, so the children had a place to hang
their stockings.
"We really appreciate the Hain Celestial team for volunteering
with us," said Padee Yang, Community Engagement Manager at
Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter. "Their challenge was to
transform cardboard boxes and colored paper into warm and cozy
hearths where our kids could hang their stockings in anticipation
of Santa's visit. The team exceeded our expectations and the
children's eyes lit up when they saw their creations. Many of the
children in our care have never experienced the magic of a
Christmas morning. This year, the Hain Celestial group brought the
joy of the season to our kids."
Hain strengthened its relationships with other charity partners
volunteering throughout the year, including:
- In the UK, the Ella's Kitchen team volunteered at Royal Society
for the Protection of Birds' Otmoor Nature Reserve as part of
the brand's partnership with the conservation organization. The
team spent the day tree coppicing, which is a traditional method of
cutting trees and shrubs to encourage regeneration, foster new
plant life and attract birds, bees, and bugs.
- This fall, Hain team members gathered at its Global
Headquarters in Hoboken, NJ to
support families in need through Ronald McDonald House New York.
There, they decorated and packed more than 100 NICU care packages
with need-focused items like diapers, wipes, onesies, rattles, baby
blankets, bibs and grooming kits to support caregivers. Hain teams
also volunteered at Community Food Share, a food bank in
Colorado that provides fresh,
nutritious food to food programs and local partners in Boulder and Broomfield counties.
- In the UK, our Hain Sales team invested 180 hours of
volunteer time with FareShare, the country's largest charity
fighting hunger and food waste. The team packed more than 350 food
orders that were then distributed by FareShare to other food
distribution charities that support communities that need it most.
The team also supported Cook School, a UK nonprofit helping
children interact with food through educational cooking
experiences, by teaching vegetarian cooking classes to more than
5,000 school-aged children, and volunteering at Spread a Smile's
summer party. Additionally, the Cully & Sully soup team was
actively involved in environmental conservation efforts, cleaning
up beaches in Wirral as part of
the Great British Beach Clean.
