Lauren Bush Lauren, founder & CEO of FEED Projects: Talks at GS Session Highlights
- The organization plans a global "Feed Supper" grassroots dinner campaign running from September 16th to October 16th with a goal of raising one million meals, half of which will be sent abroad and half distributed within the United States.
- Strategic projections anticipate distributing 100 million meals by the 10th year anniversary in February 2017 and well over 84 million meals within the subsequent five-year period.
- Long-term operational expectations include consumers transforming into donors and advocates through product purchases, with a hope to close operations once the mission to end hunger is achieved, a timeline estimated between five to ten years.
- The organization aims to inspire self-sustainability in many families to cease reliance on food support programs and envisions its legacy as encouraging other entrepreneurs to embed social missions in their businesses.
- Forward-looking statements reflect a hope that the initial Millennium Development Goal of halving world hunger by 2015 was met, alongside an expectation that the "feed as a social good brand" will grow stronger.
