Vitamin Angels is a nonprofit organization that helps at-risk populations in need – specifically pregnant women, new mothers, and children under five – gain access to lifesaving and life changing vitamins and minerals In 2017, they are working to reach 60 million mothers and children in 66 countries worldwide, including the United States and Canada.
