Actor Ryan Devlin created a new granola bar called 'This Bar Saves Lives' that can help improve the lives of children in need. Dreamed up after a life-changing trip to Liberia, Devlin's granola bars are sold using the popular one-for-one model.
Just as the name suggests, This Bar Saves Lives is a charitable business initiative that is dedicated to saving the lives of children in need. For each bar sold, the company will donate a packet of PlumpyNut's life-saving food to a hungry child. These packets are distributed by the company's charitable partners, which include organizations such as Free the Children and Action Against Hunger.
Not only do the granola bars support a good cause, but they are also designed to provide consumers with a healthy snack option. Each bar is made with gluten-free, GMO-free and Fair Trade ingredients for a wholesome, nutrient-rich snack.
