FEED Bag

Sunday, December 20, 2009
Jen mentioned a few weeks ago that she was excited to give me my Christmas present... and yesterday I found out why she was so excited. She gave me the coolest present ever - a FEED bag. I had never heard of or seen a FEED bag before, but I quickly found out the amazing meaning behind the bag. The purchase of my FEED bag feeds a child for an entire year through the UN World Food Program.

According to FEEDprojects.org, over 350 million children go to bed hungry each night. Hunger and malnutrition kill more people than AIDS, malaria, and TB combined. In fact, every five seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry. I think it's exciting that Jen and I can make a difference for one child - the meal that they receive as a result of the purchase of my FEED bag may be the only meal he or she will receive all day. And look what kind of company we are in - celebs such as Jennifer Aniston are helping with the FEED mission too! Thanks Jen - I it's absolutely perfect.
