Herbalife Family Foundation officials and LA Galaxy players attended the gift bag distribution and also contributed branded products for the gift bags. Local children also had the opportunity to share their wishes with Santa, play with LA Galaxy mascot Cozmo and climb and sled on 30 tons of snow.

“Herbalife is all about building and inspiring healthy communities around the world, and giving back is one of our core principles,” said Michael O. Johnson, Herbalife Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“In a neighborhood where most families are focused on survival, it’s a blessing to be able to celebrate the holidays with a sense of play and abundance – especially for the children,” says Jonathan Zeichner, executive director of A Place Called Home. “We are extremely grateful to all the sponsors and donors that make this event possible – and to Santa, of course!”
