Lauren Bush is the CEO, Creative Director and co-Founder of
FEED Projects LLC. She also serves as the Chairman of the Board for the FEED Foundation. In 2004, Lauren became an Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Program (WFP). As Honorary Spokesperson, Lauren has traveled to eight countries around the world visiting WFP operations, and helped start the Universities Fighting Hunger Campaign in the US.
For many years Lauren was a fashion model, appearing on the cover of such publications as W, Australian Vogue, Glamour, Town and Country, and Tatler. Her involvement in the fashion industry lead to her interest in photography and fashion design.
The FEED bag, a reversible burlap and cotton bag stamped with “FEED the children of the world” and the number “1″ was an idea born after Lauren Bush visited several WFP's around the world. The bags were designed to raise much-needed funds for WFP school-feeding operations and make the public aware of the very serious issue of child hunger around the world. The number stamped on the side of the bag indicates how many children will be fed in one school year.
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.
Love & Peace
