ACTION AGAINST HUNGER ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH GOURMET GRANOLA BAR COMPANY

Action Against Hunger, a global nonprofit organization 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 ongoing 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. Would you like to find a way to do something to help? The partnership 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. By stopping by places like Whole Foods markets and Target stores, you can purchase This Bar Saves Lives, and do something to help right now.

While child malnutrition is a huge problem, being a part of the solution has never been easier. 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. Launched on October 16th, World Food Day, the campaign raises awareness for the issue of hunger, and presents a positive way to take action. Buy a bar and feed a child, it’s that easy.

Action Against Hunger is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization that saves the lives of severely malnourished children while helping vulnerable communities become self-sufficient. Operating in over 45 countries around the world, last year alone, Action Against Hunger impacted and served 13.6 million individuals in the fields of malnutrition, clean water and sanitation, sustainability, and emergency response.

This Bar Saves Lives, co-founded by Kristen Bell, Ryan Devlin, Todd Grinnell, and Ravi Patel, 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.

The 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.
