people helping people
Shaklee Cares is a publicly supported, non-profit organization, founded in 1992 in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. This charitable organization is committed to helping people directly affected by natural disasters and emergencies, as well as grass-roots citizen groups working in the impacted areas. For more than a decade, Shaklee Cares has responded swiftly to a long list of devastating disasters. With contributions that range from food products and cleaning supplies to cash contributions and volunteering time. Shaklee formed a partnership with Habitat for Humanity International's Disaster Division® in 2002. Since its inception, Shaklee Cares has given over 1.7 million in cash and product to individual families and communities. Shaklee Corporation underwrites all administrative costs to Shaklee Cares, so 100% of your donation goes to help rebuild lives, homes and communities. Dear Friends Over the past 24 months, our country has been through so much - from the unspeakable events of September 11, to our soldiers giving their lives in the war on terrorism, to the devastating floods and fires that have destroyed our communities. As our country continues to recover from these tragedies, the mission of Shaklee Cares is more important than ever. This is what Shaklee Cares is about - providing help. When disaster strikes, it can leave people with nothing. But the efforts of you, the Shaklee Cares team, mean these people are not without hope. For example, when the recent flooding this past summer in Texas forced thousands of people to flee their homes, they were left with nothing. Your continuous donation of Disaster Recovery Packs brought 17,500 pounds of products, worth over $100,000, to these people and helped them begin the journey of recovery from their devastating losses. This past summer, 5,200 indivisuals and families received Shaklee Cares product packs as a result of damage suffered with the summer's fires and floods. This past year Shaklee Cares began a partnership with another organization dedicated to bringing help and hope to people: Habitat for Humanity International, the organization supported by former President Jimmy Carter that helps build affordable homes with people in need. Through our alliance with Habitat for Humanity, Shaklee Cares has provided shelter for two families by helping to build homes in Oklahoma and Ohio. As we move forward, we must continue to keep the Shaklee Cares mission before us. Our collaboration with Habitat for Humanity International will help us meet our goal of providing support to those in need, but remember, the most important Shaklee Cares partner is you. The donation of your time, your heart, and your hands ensures a bright future for us, and, more importantly, for the people and communities we help. Best Regards, John EarthyPresident Board of Directors |
