The Melaleuca Foundation is the charitable arm of Melaleuca, Inc. Founded in 2001 to help the forgotten families of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the foundation has been hard at work helping victims of natural disasters, feeding the hungry, and supporting education. The foundation is also the sole financial supporter of an orphanage in Ecuador. After Hurricane Ian, the foundation sent Melaleuca products, generators, and other relief supplies to the affected families via Melaleuca’s company jet. When wildfires virtually destroyed the town of Lahaina, Hawaii, Melaleuca quickly got to work distributing products and supplies to the displaced families and individuals. Through his own meat-processing company, Frank VanderSloot donated tens of thousands of pounds of beef, feeding the victims for two months. And when Hurricane Otis surprised weather forecasters by growing from a Category 1 to a Category 5 storm in 24 hours, Melaleuca immediately donated thousands of Melaleuca products to victims in Acapulco, Mexico, through the Mexican Red Cross.
