LOS ANGELES- A Place Called Home, a South Los Angeles youth enrichment center, reopened its kitchen today following months of renovations and improvements made possible in-part by a grant from the Herbalife Family Foundation (HFF).
With the “Casa Herbalife Kitchen,” equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, new plumbing and electrical systems, the youth center can now better prepare nutritious after-school snacks and meals for approximately 250 children every day. The new kitchen is also equipped so that food preparation and cooking classes can be taught.
A Place Called Home is where the first Casa Herbalife program was established in 2005. Through this program, HFF partners with existing charities serving children to help provide healthy and nutritious meals. To date, 32 programs have been established worldwide.
Located at 2830 S. Central Avenue, A Place Called Home is a dynamic youth enrichment center founded in 1993. Its mission is to provide at-risk youth with a secure, positive family environment where children and teens can regain hope and belief, earn trust and self-respect and learn skills to lead a productive lifestyle free of the gangs, drugs and poverty that surround them.
