Young Living has announced its community support efforts in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading with a donation of $233,767 to Meals on Wheels. Young Living's donations and programs were created to help those individuals who are most vulnerable and facing significant challenges.
 
Young Living donated one percent of all North American proceeds from the Thieves product line through the month of March 2020 to Meals on Wheels, which delivers healthy food to the homes of senior citizens. The total donation was given directly to the Meals on Wheels COVID-19 Response Fund, which benefits the program in both the US and Canada. This fund will focus on supporting efforts to replenish the supply of food for the program, subsidizing additional transportation, enabling the implementation of telephone reassurance to connect with isolated seniors and other initiatives caring for seniors in need.
 
"We are tremendously grateful to Young Living for supporting our critical effort to ensure homebound seniors continue to receive the nutritious meals they need amid this national crisis," said Ellie Hollander, president and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. "This significant donation provides certainty for Meals on Wheels during this uncertain time and a vital lifeline on which vulnerable older adults rely."
 
In addition to this significant donation, the company has embarked on a number of other community-focused initiatives, with others on the horizon. These include:
 

• Food donations.
• Baby care donations
• Sewing fabric masks for healthcare workers.
• 3-D printing masks for local entities.
