MIAMI, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami based Gilly Vending has announced a new campaign geared toward the ever growing healthy snack food demand and has signed Miami Heat NBA great Alonzo Mourning to be the face of their Healthy Initiative program. The announcement comes on the heels of the new USDA Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.

Gilly Vending President Gilda Rosenberg says, "We are thrilled Alonzo will be working with us on this exciting awareness initiative. We wanted to go the extra step, and through our company's national marketing division have begun to develop partnerships with national and local athletes to help rollout our Healthy Snack & Beverage Vending Program."

Mourning, who led the Miami Heat to their first championship, is a 2014 Hall of Fame inductee and Founder of The Mourning Family Foundation. His non-profit organization has raised over $10 million for various programs that aid in the development of children and their families. "We wanted to partner our healthy choice campaign with someone who not only shares our commitment to living healthy, but also has the passion and relentless commitment to his community as well," Rosenberg added.

The Gilly Vending / Alonzo Mourning Healthy Snack Program will partner with local and national businesses, high schools, colleges, transportation and government institutions to promote healthier affordable vending options in thousands of the company's machines nationwide. According to Mr. Mourning, "Gilly Vending is on the cutting edge of the industry and has enormous influence on the snack habits of consumers of all ages; I am very excited about my association with this campaign."
