How FEED Started
FEED was created in 2007 by Lauren Bush-Lauren and Ellen Gustafson. Lauren Bush-Lauren is the granddaughter of former US President George H. W. Bush.
Lauren had an idea to show people how their purchases could make a difference. She wanted to put a special number on each product. This number would show how many school meals were donated because someone bought that item.
Her idea came from her travels as a student. She worked as an ambassador for the World Food Programme. This program helps feed people in need around the world. Lauren decided to mix fashion with helping others. Her very first product was called the FEED 1 Bag.
Working with Other Brands
FEED has teamed up with many other well-known companies. These partnerships help them reach more people and provide even more meals.
Partnering with (RED)
In 2012, FEED Projects joined the (RED) campaign. This campaign works to fight serious diseases. Other big brands like Nike and American Express were also part of it. The (RED) campaign's goal was to stop the spread of the HIV virus from mothers to their children. They aimed to do this by 2015.
Other Cool Partnerships
In 2019, FEED Projects worked with the famous fashion brand Ralph Lauren. They created a special, limited collection of items together.
In 2020, FEED also partnered with Clarins. Clarins is a company that makes beauty products. They sold special bags filled with Clarins items, and buying them helped FEED's mission.
