NOW Foods Donates to Nourish America

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill.— NOW Foods donated more than 18,000 bottles of liquid echinacea to Nourish America, which the non-profit passed along to The River Fund of New York, a food pantry for New York’s working poor and homeless. Echinacea is known for its ability to support the immune system. “Having a product that helps to keep a family healthy during the cold and flu season can mean the difference between barely making it and losing everything,” said Swami Durga Das, director of The River Fund. “There are not words to describe our deep, deep gratitude for this wonderful donation from NOW Foods and Nourish America.”

Al Powers, president, NOW Foods, added: “We are honored to be able to support the important mission of Nourish America in responding to the needs of people in our own country. This also supports the mission of NOW Foods to empower people around the world to lead healthier lives by responding to those with the greatest need and the least amount of resources.”
