Howard Schiffer had a long and successful career selling vitamin supplements in the natural products industry before he decided to change directions and do something for people in need. He started out by aiding disaster victims affected by the Northridge earthquake that occurred in California in 1994, but quickly shifted his efforts to launch Vitamin Angels, a global nonprofit organization that provides at-risk new mothers and young children with long term nutritional support. More than 20 years later, Vitamin Angels has provided crucial long-term pre and postnatal nutritional support to hundreds of millions of people worldwide to prevent low birth weights, stunted growth, anemia and vitamin A deficiencies, as well as encourage healthy development in children and new mothers.
