FEED Projects facts for kids
FEED is an American company that makes fashion items. It was started in 2007 by Lauren Bush-Lauren and Ellen Gustafson. The main goal of FEED is to help feed children who need food around the world.
How FEED Started
FEED was co-founded in 2007 by Lauren Bush-Lauren and Ellen Gustafson. Lauren Bush-Lauren is the granddaughter of former U.S. President George H. W. Bush. She is also married to David Lauren.
Lauren Bush-Lauren had an idea to show people the good their purchases could do. She decided to put a number on every product. This number shows how many school meals are given to children because someone bought that item.
Her idea came from her travels as a student. She worked as an ambassador with the World Food Programme. This program helps feed people globally. By mixing fashion with helping others, she designed her first product. It was called the FEED 1 Bag.
