FEED bags were created to do just that. Feed people.
The burlap and organic cotton messenger bags were originally
designed by model and activist Lauren Bush, and raise awareness and funds for
school feeding programs. The proceeds from FEED go to the United Nations’ World
Food Program which distributes food to needy families, mostly concentrating in
Africa.
FEED has been able to provide over 60 million school meals
to children all around the world. They’ve also given money to UNICEF and raised
money for their Vitamin A and micronutrient supplements program.
Buying one bag from their website can supply the
micronutrients to a child for a year. They use environmentally friendly materials
and fair-labor production.
Aside from bags, FEED also sells clothing and accessories at
their website here.
Thanks for another good post and another reminder of a way to help people in need around the world. I wonder if my daughter knows about this site . . . I'll have to tell her to read your blog.
