Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good


Lauren Bush Lauren Helps FEED the World…
“You buy a pair of TOMS or a FEED product, and someone is helped—we provide them with pair of shoes or meals for a whole year, or we help with problems like sight restoration.”
FEED is a company that sells many products like; bags, accessories, and apparel. In this case for products bought, the profits are used to feed people around the world who need it. Also recently, FEED has begun selling more at places like target.
It’s nice because when you buy a product from the company, on the item you are buying, you are being told who you are feeding, like “FEED India,” “FEED Kenya”. It’s a nice way to wear something fashionable while also showing others whom they could also be feeding.
“The FEED Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to ensure nutritious school meals for all children as a first step to improving the global food system.” 
This is honestly a smart and hip way to help other countries who truly need it, not only are you getting a nice item but you are also feeding a lot of people in the process.
“It was exciting to compare notes and see what TOMS could be doing differently based on her experiences with FEED.” The man behind Toms was even inspired, and also learning from Laurens experiences. She gave him tips/ advice to help with promoting the charity and in doing so, more and more people will be helped. More people will be able to have a decent mean and shoes to do with it.
All I have to say is thank you to those who may come from money, but instead of bathing in it, you decided to help spread charity through many people’s lives with what you are doing. It’s nice to know that you take more time into getting others involved rather than just writing a check and calling it a day.
