This meal kit delivery service is not only convenient for busy people on the go, it also helps fight hunger and aid the 13% of American people who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Fed 40 delivers 40 simple meals to the food insecure as part of a new initiative from nonprofit organization Feeding Children Everywhere. Using the Fed 40 app or website, people can input the address and number of family members living there to have 40 shelf-stable meals delivered in under a business day.
Although there are many organizations and efforts to end hunger, such as soup kitchens and food banks, this meal kit delivery service aims to mimic the $1.5 billion dollar so-called doorstep cooking industry.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Meal Kit Donations
- Businesses can create meal kit donation programs to help fight hunger and aid the food insecure, similar to Fed 40.
- Convenient Meal Solutions
- Convenient meal solutions can be provided to busy people while also helping alleviate hunger in their communities.
- Tech-enabled Food Assistance

Sectors Adopting This
- Food Delivery

- Meal Kit Companies
- Meal kit companies can expand their offerings to include donations to food insecure individuals and families.
- Socially Responsible Businesses
- More businesses can adopt a social responsibility stance and create programs to address issues like hunger in their communities.
