While many one-for-one food initiatives provide meals for those in other countries, Fed By Threads is focused on providing food for those in the United States who are struggling to feed themselves every day.
Each item that is purchased from the company is then translated into 12 meals for food-insecure American citizens through donations by the company to both Feeding America and the Community Food Bank Of Southern Arizona (CFBSA).
Feeding America works in partnership with over 200 food banks across the United States and the CFBSA is a community organization dedicated to feeding hungry residents of the Arizona area.
The company offers apparel for men, women and children as well as greeting cards and custom printed items.
