More Than a Slogan: A Transparent Look at How 1 Apron Provides 100 Meals
It All Started with a Question I Couldn’t Ignore
Ever since I can remember, my life has revolved around food—the joy of it, the creativity of it, and the way it brings people together. But for years, a single, troubling thought followed me: how can we live in a world with so much feast, and yet so much famine? I knew I wanted to build one of those companies that give back in a truly meaningful way.
When I started Cooks Who Feed, it had to be a solution. That’s how our "1 Apron = 100 Meals" promise was born. It’s not just a marketing slogan; it’s the very foundation of why we exist and our commitment to you. I wanted to create a clear, simple, and powerful way for our community of food lovers to help fight hunger.
Our Simple Promise: How Your Purchase Creates Real Change
People often ask me, how does 1 apron provide 100 meals? It's a question I love to answer because it gets to the heart of our mission. In a world where it's wise to ask if a foundation is legitimate, we welcome those questions with open arms because we are proud of our transparent model.
Here’s how it works: For every single one of our handcrafted aprons you purchase, we provide 100 nutritious meals to people facing food insecurity. This give-back model applies to all of our kitchen linens. To make this happen, we dedicate over 25% of our profits directly to our carefully chosen charity partners who specialize in food rescue and hunger relief. This isn’t a vague promise; it’s a core part of our business model, ensuring your decision to support us has a direct and measurable impact.
We Couldn't Do It Alone: Meet Our Incredible Charity Partners
Fulfilling this promise would be impossible without the expertise of our incredible partners. We’ve teamed up with established, award-winning organizations that are true leaders in running effective food insecurity initiatives.
Fighting Hunger in the U.S.: No Kid Hungry & Rescuing Leftover Cuisine
In the United States, we’re proud to work with No Kid Hungry, a campaign dedicated to ending childhood hunger by supporting programs that provide kids with healthy food. We also partner with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, a fantastic non-profit that redistributes excess food from businesses to people in need across the country.
Tackling Food Waste in Canada: Second Harvest
In Canada, we partner with Second Harvest, the country's largest food rescue organization. Their work is inspiring because it tackles two problems at once. They not only provide millions of meals to those in need, but they also prevent perfectly good food from ending up in landfills, which has a huge positive impact on the environment. In a single year, their work helped avoid millions of pounds of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
More Than a Meal: Our Two-Fold Promise for Ethical Kitchenware
While our meal promise is at the heart of what we do, it’s only one part of our story. Our mission has always been two-fold: to fight hunger and to empower women. That’s why we’re so proud of our collection of ethical kitchenware.
Every apron, tote, and tea towel is handcrafted by women in Delhi, India, through a partnership that provides fair-trade employment, a safe work environment, and a living wage. Many of these talented artisans are now able to support their families with dignity. When you receive one of our products, you’ll find a hangtag signed by the maker—a small but powerful connection to the person your purchase has directly empowered. You can learn more about this part of our mission by exploring our ethical production story.
Our Commitment to Transparency and Trust
In a world full of noise, trust is everything. We are committed to being fully transparent with our community. We want you to feel confident that your support is making a real, tangible difference. This is more than a business to me; it's a promise to the women who make our products, the partners we support, and the community of customers who share our values.
Join a Community That Loves to Care and Share
Every time you use one of our aprons, you’re part of a global community that believes in the power of food to create change. You’re joining a movement built on the simple idea to care and share. It’s why our products have become some of the most popular socially conscious gifts for foodies. You’re not just buying an apron; you’re providing hope, empowering an artisan, and making a statement that you believe in a better world.
Thank you for believing in this mission. Together, we are proving that simple gifts that give back can be a powerful force for good.
With gratitude,
The Founder of Cooks Who Feed
