No child should grow up hungry.  Yet millions of children in the United States struggle with hunger.  Not because our country lacks food, but because families in need do not always have reliable access to nutritious meals. 

Earth’s Best® and Ella’s Kitchen® brands have each contributed $75,000—or 1.5 million meals—to No Kids Hungry to help make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 5 children struggling with hunger in the United States. 

To help drive further awareness for No Kid Hungry, specially-marked packages of Earth’s Best® and Ella’s Kitchen® organic baby food pouches are now available at 800 Walmart stores.  Each package highlights how the simple act of feeding a child a nutritious breakfast can have a dramatic effect on their lives. 

Specially-marked 4-pouch pack products available at Walmart include:

• Earth’s Best® Peach Mango Puree
• Earth’s Best® Banana Blueberry Puree
• Ella’s Kitchen® Apples Sweet Potatoes Pumpkin + Blueberries Puree 
• Ella’s Kitchen® Apples Carrots Prunes + Butternut Squash Puree

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our consumers the opportunity to get involved with No Kid Hungry to help feed children in need ,” said Maureen Putman, President of Grocery and Snacks at Hain Celestial United States. “Every child should have access to nutritious meals. This partnership between Earth’s Best®, Ella’s Kitchen® and No Kid Hungry will help provide up to 1.5 million meals to children in need.”

Using proven, practical solutions, No Kid Hungry is working to end childhood hunger today by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast and families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget. Since the campaign’s launch, No Kid Hungry and its partners have connected kids struggling with hunger with more than 107 million more meals.
