Buy vitamins and support Vitamin Angels

Fall illnesses are no joke! Staying healthy is at the forefront of my to-do list, and I plan on keeping my entire family that way as well. I recently wrote a post about which vitamins to take to keep your family healthy throughout this season. My 3 main essential vitamins are Vitamin C, Zinc, and Echinacea.

Every year about this time, I head over to Walgreens to stock up on these. This year, how ever, is more special than any other. This year purchasing my vitamins doesn’t only mean that I’m keeping my own family healthy… it’s actually keeping other families healthy as well!

That’s because this year Walgreens is partnering with Vitamin Angels to provide essential vitamins and minerals to under nourished families in America and around the world. They are specially reaching out to children under five, pregnant women, and new mothers.

 

Vitamin Angels has been helping these at-risk populations for 20 years now. Along with Walgreens, they plan on helping at least 100 Million of these people to gain access to vitamins and minerals by the year 2017!  This is an mission that leaves me in awe, and I am soo glad they are doing this.

 

It’s soo easy for people like you and I to help. We literally don’t have to do ANYTHING outside of keeping our own family healthy and protected with the vitamins and minerals they need. Each and every time that you purchase vitamins at Walgreens, they will make a donation to Vitamin Angels! Buy vitamins and support Vitamin Angels!

 

That’s right, you aren’t required to purchase anything additional, or send any extra money.  Through this initiative, Vitamin Angels has already collected funds to aid 28 million kids to date! If you’d like to learn more about Vitamin Angels, and their partnership with Walgreens, be sure to visit their page.

 

Here you will find the stories of many of the women and children that have been helped to date!

 

 When shopping for vitamins, you might find it useful to know that you can help a child in need with every vitamins or supplements purchase at Walgreens. Millions of children around the world are suffering from ‘hidden hunger’, a lack of micronutrients that can lead to disease and even death. In fact, 45% of all childhood deaths are attributable to under-nutrition. Walgreens is giving a portion of all vitamin retail sales to Vitamin Angels to help 100 million children in the U.S. and abroad get the vitamins they need to live well.
