It’s another Target designer mashup, but this time not only do you get a great look but a great feeling as well. Target has joined with FEED Projects to create the FEED USA + Target collection, which will provide millions of meals to struggling Americans with every purchase. Designed by FEED’s founder Lauren Bush Lauren, the FEED USA + Target Collection will include fashion, accessories, home decor, sporting goods, and stationery so that there is something for everyone. The exclusive line features products with a distinct American aesthetic, with motifs of stars, stripes and eagles just in time for the 4th of July celebrations. This exclusive line will be available at Target stores and online beginning June 30th with prices ranging from $3 to $400. And when you buy, don’t forget to check the tag for something other than the price; each product comes with the number of meals that will be donated to the nation’s largest hunger-relief charity, Feeding America as a result of the purchase. Ultimately, Lauren’s goal with this collection is to provide more than 10 million meals to families in need across the country. Now that’s a purchase with power.
