Direct-sales jobs lure the unemployed
By SCOTT ANDRON

At Janine Rodriguez's office, overtime has been slashed, bonuses have vanished, employees are getting laid off, and she's getting nervous about her own job.

Her solution: Spend two nights a week cooking at the homes of strangers, in front of an audience of the host's family and friends, pointing out the virtues of cheese graters, garlic presses and other culinary tools.

Help Feed Starving People Around the Globe!

Why the XanGo Goodness Meal Pack?

For the past five years, XanGo Goodness has enabled our distributors, executives and employees to get involved, roll up their sleeves and make a positive impact on the welfare of children and families across the globe. From Thailand to Peru, across Europe, North America and Asia, XanGo Goodness has set a standard in our industry and helped change the lives of both givers and recipients.

As XanGo founders have traveled to diverse locations around the planet on Goodness missions, they have witnessed firsthand the hunger epidemic affecting many. Touched by what they see, they have asked the questions: What is the need? What can we do to help? XanGo distributors the world over ask the question: What more can I do?

What is the XanGo Goodness Meal Pack?

XanGo introduces the answer with the launch of an important and life-changing product: the XanGo Goodness Meal Pack. This product is a meal replacement program that is the first step out of starvation. A dry powder formulation for the severely malnourished, it helps to strengthen those who cannot properly digest solid food due to long periods of poverty, famine and other disasters.

The XanGo Goodness Meal Pack is an innovative product formulation. It is effective in meeting basic nutritional needs by simply adding water.

How can distributors get involved?

Through this program, XanGo distributors can now help nourish the world's starving population in a very personal and practical way. For US$115, shipping included, distributors provide essential meals to needy parts of the world. Each purchase counts as 100PV.

XanGo is pleased to introduce this much-needed product and help fill a global humanitarian need through XanGo Goodness.

“This is the next step in empowering the XanGo Goodness movement to extend its worldwide impact,” said XanGo founder Gordon Morton. “Imagine—through the XanGo Goodness Meal Pack we have the ability to save countless lives.”

If you are currently a Xango Distributor, simply order the Meal Pack as you would normally order juice. If you are not a Xango Distributor, but would like to send a Meal Pack, please contact Chris Kazor at ckazor@gmail.com to have a Meal Pack ordered on your behalf.

Each Meal Pack feeds up to 50 people.
