Two Degrees, Buy Their Products & Help Feed Hungry Children Worldwide

Brands built on the premise of giving back and helping the inhabitants of this world see another day, should be praised and spoken about frequently. Two Degrees, a company whose main focus is to help feed hungry children recently caught our attention at the Natural Products Expo, in Anaheim.

We took notice of Two Degrees, not because they had silly dressed characters passing out free samples, but because their mission statement was so prominently displayed. Their obvious desire to help any child who is hungry, get a square meal was felt after only a few seconds of conversation with one of their cheerful reps.

Too many companies nowadays say they are helping people who can’t seem to find a square meal no matter how hard they try, but in all actuality they are only lining their own pockets and avoiding having to pay taxes on their earnings. Two Degrees is not one of those "Culture Vulture" kind of companies.

TwoDegrees manufactures nutritious, delicious bars that are healthy, natural, and gluten free. They are consciously crafted with real fruit, nuts, seeds and heritage grains like chia, quinoa and millet.

We took a few days to snack on a couple of their bars such as the Apple Pecan, Cherry Almond & Chocolate Banana and found ourselves having bit more energy throughout the morning. A delicious snack that you can feed to your Vegan friends, that actually is involved in World affairs is a brand we respect and admire.

TwoDegrees makes it simple for their customers to do good. For every bar sold, they give a meal to a hungry child. The support from their customers allows them to fight childhood hunger both domestically and globally.

At Two Degrees, they purchase nutrient rich meals and medically formulated nutrition packs and whenever possible, these products are produced locally in the region they will be distributed - in this way, the purchase a customer makes of one Two Degrees bar also supports local economies.

Working closely with reputable companies such as Valid Nutrition, Two Degrees also helps communities begin to thrive by creating jobs for the locals and source most of their ingredients from local farmers. 

TwoDegrees provide meals to regions around the world that have been with famine by working alongside a network of non-profit partners in developing countries. Each of these organizations has dedicated distribution channels for the meals through health clinics, schools, and community groups in areas where children are suffering from chronic hunger or malnutrition. By donating one locally produced meal for each Two Degrees bar purchased, Two Degrees helps these organizations to provide needed meals to children.

To date, Two Degrees has donated regionally produced and supplied meals to children in the United States via Feeding America, Haiti, India, Kenya, Malawi and Somalia through Action Against Hunger, Akshaya Patra, IMA World Health, Partners in Health, Relief International and Valid Nutrition.

"30 Ways in 30 Days" Get Involved & Take Action To End Child Hunger

	HUNGER RELIEF ADVOCATE
"Call Your Member of Congress Day" is part of Hunger Action Month. Explore "30 Ways in 30 Days" at hungeractionmonth.orgto learn about other actions you can take to reduce hunger and support Hunger Action Month. Would you like to become a Hunger Relief Champion? Provide your name and phone number in the space below, and we'll call you to discuss how you can get more involved. Current child nutrition programs will expire September 30 if Congress doesn't act. Congress shouldn't wait another day to take action on child hunger, and neither should you. Get ready -- we'll be calling soon to connect you directly to your Representative's office so you can tell Congress to pass a strong child nutrition bill now! Many children go hungry simply because they don't have access to child nutrition programs when they are away from school. The child nutrition bill before Congress has the potential to dramatically reduce child hunger by making sure that children are connected to programs in their community. But Congress is running out of time to pass the bill before programs expire September 30. For many children, access to nutritious food ends with the school day, leaving them without enough to eat at breakfast, afterschool, on weekends, and during the summer. Soon, you'll be hearing from one of our Hunger Champion Coordinators who will call to connect you to your Representative's office. Help us make sure that children have access to the nutritious food they need to learn and grow by following these simple steps once you're connected: Tell them that you are a constituent and state the name of the town you are calling from. Say that you are calling about Child Nutrition Reauthorization. Deliver this message: Far too many children -- especially low-income children -- lack the nutrition they need to be healthy and successful. Please fund and pass a strong child nutrition bill that increases children's access to healthy meals both in and out of school. Background Child nutrition programs offer the most nourishing meals that many children receive each day. The child nutrition bill before Congress provides an opportunity to reduce hunger among low-income children and improve nutrition for all children, but it won't happen without your support. By urging your member of Congress to improve children's access to nutritious meals, you can help make sure that all kids have the healthy start they deserve. Call your Representative today! We can do more to ensure that vulnerable children have enough to eat, especially on weekends, after school, and during the summer when they can't rely on school meals.

The Social Responsibility Project...

The Social Responsibility Project is off and running folks.

We here at The Supreme Plate, take food very seriously. All jokes aside, the fact that many people around the globe are not able to feed themselves or their loved ones, breaks our hearts. That is why we have started to take matters into our own hands with, “The Social Responsibility Project.”

  

Teaming up with various food conglomerates and companies that simply care, we are looking forward to making Thanksgiving 2010 a very memorable day for some hard working families who exemplify the meaning of the word “Selflessness.”
