LACEY, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Independent Sales Associates at Univera LifeSciences, the world’s leading healthy-aging relationship marketing company, brightened the holidays for children in rural Mississippi. Over a thousand gifts went to children at Ruleville Elementary and surrounding schools.

Ruleville Elementary– which receives the meal-replacement drink “Essentials” through the Univera Serve First non-profit charity nutrition project- is a rural Mississippi town in an area of extreme poverty in which children – the most vulnerable population – are most adversely impacted. This year, they learned how much they are cared for and remembered by those outside of their town.

Univera Associates initiated the program and communicated it across the United States resulting in new, individually wrapped gifts arriving in time for Christmas. Univera Corporate office supported the program through gift cards given to school principals to ensure that no child was left out of the gift giving.

“We can’t believe this! The presents just kept arriving – UPS trucks, Post Office trucks – so many packages,” said Ruleville Elementary Principal Bessie Gardner. “We ended up with over 1,000 presents – every child in Ruleville, Mississippi had great presents this Christmas. We’re all so thankful to the people at Univera – they’re wonderful.”

Univera Associates mailed toys, gift wrapped and tagged for girls and boys by age that were distributed before the holiday. Howard Schiffer, President of Vitamin Angels, Univera Serve First’s partner in the Ruleville Nutrition Project, said, “Ruleville Elementary Principal Bessie Gardener is just ecstatic at the generous outpouring of gifts. The children of Ruleville are being nourished by Univera – not just through the Essentials nutrition product, but through heartfelt generosity at this special time of year.”
