So you already know where to dine if you want to do good. But what if you’re more inclined to eat at home? Well, we’ve got you covered there too. If you prefer to stay in and enjoy a home-cooked (or home-heated-up-in-the-microwave) meal, you can still contribute to the greater good. There are a significant amount of benevolent food & beverage brands whose mission aligns with ours: to help feed the hungry. They primarily donate food, or a percentage of their profits for each item of food or drink purchased. So, what can you do? Simply start by adding some foods and drinks to your kitchen that automatically give to the less fortunate.
What food & drink items contribute to the greater good? We’ve done the legwork for you and collected some of the best food & drink items you can buy while supporting a great cause. So update your grocery list with these tasty eats and tap into your philanthropic side by doing what you do best…eating.
