Michael Kors’s fight to eradicate world hunger continues – especially so during the pandemic which is impacting people worldwide.
Partnering with the World Food Programme, Kors is supporting their Watch Hunger Stop campaign with the release of a special edition LOVE T-shirt.
The situation is more dire than ever. Since 2013, the organization has donated over 19 million meals to children in need. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has left many schools – a main source of food for many children – closed, and so the World Food Programme has been working overtime to ensure children will continue to have access to nutritional meals.
“This pandemic has reminded us that what really matters is health and love and community,” says Michael Kors. “WFP has always worked to help those most in need, using their unparalleled expertise to alleviate suffering and spread hope. They are the organization that much of the world turns to in an emergency, and it’s no surprise that they are rising to the challenges presented by COVID-19. We’re honored to work with them and to share their efforts with our own community.”
Michael Kors x World Food Programme LOVE T-Shirt
The design, which features the world LOVE in light blue across a simple white background, incorporates the brand’s “Food Is Love,” campaign, which helps WFP provide school meals to children in food-insecure regions of the world. All profits from the T-shirt will directly support relief efforts to provide nutrition to keep kids healthy at school or at home.
The Love T-shirt is available to purchase online globally and in select Michael Kors Lifestyle stores around the world now.
For each Watch Hunger Stop Love T-shirt purchased from a Michael Kors retail store or official Michael Kors web site, the brand will donate 100 percent of profits (equivalent to 100 meals or $25) to WFT. Michael Kors will donate up to two million meals to WFP through Sept. 30.
