Melaleuca Partners with The Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Idaho Falls Soup Kitchen

Melaleuca’ s charitable giving is making the holidays brighter for families in need throughout Idaho and Tennessee. The company and its employees donated 1,000 cans of food to the Idaho Falls Soup Kitchen, 5.5 tons of food to 13 individual families, 500 Christmas gifts to The Salvation Army and a $1,000 in-kind donation to St. Vincent de Paul’s Christmas Basket Project.

Melaleuca has a 13-year tradition of donating food to families who are suffering extreme hardship as well as to local food banks during the holiday season. On Dec. 10, Melaleuca delivered 11,500 pounds of food to 13 families. Employees had confidentially identified and assisted eight families in Idaho and five in Knoxville. Each family received a three-month supply of non-perishable food, 40 pounds of meat, new clothing and toys for the children. The company also donated 1,000 cans of food to the Idaho Falls Soup Kitchen.
