Action Against Hunger, a global NGO on the front lines of the fight against hunger, has teamed up with This Bar Saves Lives, a gourmet granola bar company that provides life-saving food to a child in need with each purchase. This exciting new partnership is aimed at allowing consumers to be a part of the solution to global malnutrition.
Currently, 17 million children worldwide suffer from severe acute malnutrition. But the good news is that it’s predictable, preventable and treatable: Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods can nurse a child suffering from malnutrition back to health. These therapeutic food packets have become a game-changer in the war against malnutrition.
The concept is simple: for every bar you buy, This Bar Saves Lives gives a life-saving therapeutic food packet to Action Against Hunger, who gives it to a child in need. While child malnutrition is a huge problem, being a part of the solution has never been more simple.
World Food Day on October 16th is a day to not only raise awareness for the issue of hunger, but it is also a day of action. This World Food Day, join the movement. Buy a bar. Feed a child. We eat together.
This Bar Saves Lives
Co-founded by Kristen Bell, Ryan Devlin, Todd Grinnell and Ravi Patel, This Bar Saves Lives is a give-back company; for every non-GMO, gluten-free, Fair Trade gourmet granola bar that they sell, they provide a packet of life-saving food to a child in need. The founders of This Bar Saves Lives started the company after witnessing the devastating affects of child malnutrition while traveling in Liberia, and then seeing the amazing impact Plumpy’Nut and other therapeutic foods were making on the crisis. They committed to creating a product that consumers would love and that would also help save precious lives. Their gourmet bars are made with all natural, gluten free, non-GMO, Fair Trade ingredients from the best farms around; wild blueberries from Maine, bee-friendly almonds from California, and organic honey from Wisconsin. Tasty, balanced, and made with care right here in America. For more information, visit www.thisbarsaveslives.com.
