FEED Projects and Whole Foods Market are working together to sell the “Feed 100″ Bag. For each “Feed 100″ bag sold, 100 children in Rwanda will be fed a warm cooked meal at their local school. Each “Feed 100″ bag is sold for $29.99. Whole Foods Market claims that $10 of the sale goes towards the 100 meals through the UN World Food Program, and the remainder goes to the daily functions of FEED Projects and the production of the bags. Whole Foods Market does not make any money off of these sales.

What makes this bag great is two things. First, you get to help stop the hunger of children all over Rwanda, which was hit by genocide in the 1990s and is still recovering, and secondly you get to use a reusable bag made out of 100% organic cotton that folds up into a convenient pouch for easy transport. Make a statement with these bags: be environmentally friendly and help support the children of Rwanda so that they may receive a healthy meal, a greater education, and a more sustainable future.
