Just like TOMS, there’s another company that gives back.
This organization is called FEED. FEED began in 2006 when an activist Lauren
Bush, granddaughter of George H.W. Bush designed a bag to help benefit the WFP
(World Food Programme). FEED has helped give over 6 million dollars and 60
million meals to countries and children in need. FEED helps feed the world one
bag at a time. “Over 350 million children go to bed hungry every night.
About every five seconds a child dies of hunger. So those alone are just shocking
and it’s sort of hard to believe. But after going and visiting countries where
this persists, it’s true. Hunger kills more people than AIDS, TB, and malaria
combined,” she
told Farnack. The FEED bag is an ecofriendly reusable bag that ranges from
$25 to $250. She first created
the FEED 1 bag to help raise funds and awareness around these school-feeding
operations. It was stamped with "FEED the children of the world" and
the number ‘1’ to signify that each bag feeds one child in school for one year.
“The bags are wonderfully greener alternative to paper
and plastic. They also make an interesting fashion statement”. FEED also sells t-shirts, bears and other accessories. “We stand behind our brand and the organizations and humanitarian
programs each FEED product supports. Ultimately, we believe that everyone has
the right to basic human necessities, such as healthy and nutritious food. FEED
is proud to help FEED the world, one bag at a time.”
