Kathleen Thompson's Company Details
HALF UNITED is a socially conscious lifestyle accessories brand. For every product purchased, we feed and empower people in need. At HALF UNITED we believe in "fashion that feeds." Through strategic partnerships and selling high quality products, we support programs, which fight hunger at its core. Purchasing our products is only HALF of what our customers get to do, they also UNITE with us to fight and end hunger.HALF UNITED was built on the idea that conscious capitalism can be the fuel to drive social change. We focus on hunger-alleviation because we understand the significant component that food plays in who a person will become. Food is a foundational force behind well-being, an ability to learn, and overall happiness. We realize that no single agency has either the resources or the capacity to deal with all the problems of hunger. Hence the importance HALF UNITED attaches to collaboration with partner agencies, which address hunger at its core. Women in particular are key to change; providing food and employment to women puts it in the hands of those who use it for the benefit of the entire household, especially the children. In 2015, HALF UNITED began employing artisans in vulnerable communities around the world to fight hunger at its roots. To date, HALF UNITED has given over 1,000,000 meals to children in need.
