LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y.,
Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Earth's Best® and Ella's Kitchen® brands that offer organic
baby, toddler and kid food products, announced today a partnership
with No Kid Hungry to support efforts to end childhood hunger in
America.
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

"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.
