Freshii, the global fresh food chain founded by Canadian Matthew Corrin, has teamed up with charity Free The Children to help build school kitchens and vegetable gardens in developing communities overseas. By purchasing the reusable green bowl (with lid) for $5 at Freshii, proceeds go to this initiative to help support school lunch programs. In return, Freshii customers can sign up for exclusive green bowl freebies. The sale of 15,340 bowls equals one kitchen and garden, which means approximately 500 students in that community will be fed a healthy lunch every day.  According to Free The Children, 66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry in the developing world. — K.B.
