Alexandria, MN (Grassroots Newswire) April 7, 2008 -- Tastefully Simple’s Design Crew, the company’s team of creatives, recently lent a hand to the Heartland Girls' Ranch in Benson, helping enhance the organization’s exercise room.

The Crew used their award-winning design skills to create an energizing environment for the program’s girls. The Heartland Girls' Ranch, a program that provides a positive environment for girls ages 12 to 21, was looking to revamp their current drab exercise room into one with an upbeat, invigorating feel for its members.

“Exercise is a wonderful, positive way to become healthy – both physically and spiritually. The newly decorated weight room takes that to a whole new level,” says Ranch Executive Director Dayna Remmel Latham. “The design of the room shows that the staff at Tastefully Simple put a lot of thought into what our girls truly need to help them become healthy.”

Tastefully Simple strives to both seek out and respond to opportunities to give back to and improve Alexandria area communities. In fact, one of the company’s core values is to “nurture the community in which we live.” The direct sales gourmet food company is pleased to live out this value with the Heartland Girls' Ranch, says LaTresse Snead, team lead, community relations.

“We encourage all of our teams to give back,” Snead says. “And we’re excited to help a program that provides a supportive, structured environment for girls, helping them make responsible choices and become mature young women.”
