Eugene, OR (PRWEB) February 25, 2005 -- Tsunami victims will be receiving a
donation of adult multi-vitamins and children’s multi-chewables thanks to a
unique alliance between two natural product companies.
Quantum Health of
Eugene, Or., a marketer of natural products, and Pacific Nutritionals of
Vancouver, WA, a supplement manufacturer have teamed up to donate the much
needed nutritional aids to Tsunami victims through the relief organization
Vitamin Angel Alliance.
“Pacific Nutritionals is one of the northwest's
premier manufacturers,” noted Quantum CEO David Shaw. “We asked them to help out
by making supplements for disaster victims and offered to pay all costs. But
Michael Schaeffer, Pacific Nutritionals CEO went one better – he wanted to pay
half the cost in addition to providing manufacturing.”
“We had thought
about sending money,” Schaeffer added, “however, contributing something that we
make and that is tangible and will be used right away is very
gratifying.”
Eve McClure, Quantum Health’s president noted that, “the
fact that these supplements will reach survivors within the week is one reason
we wanted to work through Vitamin Angels – they’re doing an incredible
job.”
Based in Santa Barbara, CA, The Vitamin Angel Alliance has provided
almost 10 million supplements to tsunami victims since the disaster hit. On a
broader level, last year the alliance provided over 16.2 million supplements to
children and adults in 45 countries around the world. “Quantum Health and
Pacific Nutritionals have found a unique way to team up and help”, said Vitamin
Angel’s Director Howard Schiffer. “We encourage other companies in the industry
to follow suit.”
