#28 FEED America + Target

If you have been into a Target lately, chances are you have seen the FEED America sections in clothing or housewares. Founded by Lauren Bush, FEED sells items that the proceeds go to supplying food to children and families in need.  Here is their mission statement from the website:

"FEED Projects' mission is to create good products that help FEED the world. We do this through the sale of FEED bags, bears, t-shirts, and other accessories by building a set donation into the cost of each product. Thus the impact of each product, signified by a stenciled number, is understandable, tangible, and meaningful. 

We take great pride in using environmentally-friendly and artisan-made materials, along with fair-labor production, in creating all FEED products. 

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."

My husband had not packed with that possibility in mind so he sent me to the store to buy him some shirts to wear. That is when I discovered FEED + Target. I bought him a t-shirt and that bought 10 meals for someone in need. Pretty cool! And it wasn't even that much more expensive than the regular Target t-shirts. This is something that I have a feeling I will be helping out with more in the future. There is a hoodie calling my name...
