Your purchase feeds hearts, minds and futures Your purchase feeds…heartsmindsfutures

At Shop LC we are thrilled every time one of our customers makes a purchase. Every item means a meal to a child in need. Since 2017, we have watched kids grow and thrive with our mission to end childhood hunger.

Your Purchase Feeds does more than provide a meal to a hungry child, Your Purchase Feeds the hearts, minds and futures of thousands of children throughout India and the United States.

  • How does Your Purchase Feeds Work?

    The best part about our Your Purchase Feeds program is that it requires nothing extra from you. For every item you purchase at Shop LC, we automatically provide one meal on your behalf to a child in India or the United States.

    Since the start of our program in October of 2017, valuable customers like you make it possible for us to contribute over 61,000,000 meals.

  • How do we do what we do?

    We work with non-profit partners Akshaya Patra, No Kid Hungry, and Backpack Friends to provide nutritionally balanced meals to children.

    Each partner operates on its own program, with the same goal to feed kids so they can learn. Each partner helps us deliver these meals directly to schools, so children don't need to choose between hunger and an education. Learn more about hunger in the United States and India.

  • Your Purchase Feeds is more than a meal

    Your Purchase Feeds supports more than 50,000 children everyday. Each and every child can focus on learning instead of being hungry. Your Purchase Feeds provides a path to a successful future and puts an end to generational poverty.

    Because of your purchase, millions of children have a better chance at a successful future. Each purchase is more than providing a meal to a child in need, it's about feeding their hearts, minds, and futures.

Together, we make a difference

What is the Your Purchase Feeds program?

Your Purchase Feeds is Shop LC's promise that every eligible purchase helps provide meals to children facing hunger, at no additional cost to you. Since launching in October 2017, together with our customers we've helped provide more than 61 million meals through trusted nonprofit partners in the United States and India. Every order becomes part of something bigger.

Does it cost me anything extra?

No. Your Purchase Feeds is funded by Shop LC. You don't pay more at checkout, you don't need to opt in, and you don't have to make an additional donation. When you shop, you're already making an impact.

How are meals counted?

We work with our nonprofit partners to determine how many meals are funded through our donations based on each organization's established meal-cost methodology. Each partner measures impact differently depending on the programs they operate, but every reported meal is backed by our nonprofit partners' accounting and reporting standards. We publish cumulative meal totals and update our progress regularly.

Which nonprofits do you support?

We currently partner with three organizations dedicated to ending childhood hunger.

No Kid Hungry works to end childhood hunger across the United States through school meals, summer meals, grocery assistance, and community partnerships.

Akshaya Patra provides freshly prepared school meals to children across India so they can stay healthy, stay in school, and build brighter futures.

Backpack Friends serves children across Central Texas by providing discreet weekend food backpacks so students have meals when school cafeterias are closed.

Why these three organizations?

Our partnerships reflect where our people live, shop and work.

Our U.S. headquarters is in Austin, so we support children locally through Backpack Friends. Our customers live across the country, so No Kid Hungry helps us fight childhood hunger nationwide. Many of our products are manufactured in India, so Akshaya Patra allows us to give back to the communities connected to our supply chain.

Together, these organizations help Your Purchase Feeds create meaningful impact wherever Shop LC has a footprint: locally, nationally and globally.

Can I make an additional donation?

Absolutely. If you'd like to do even more, you can make a direct donation to any of our nonprofit partners. Every dollar goes directly to the organization you choose.

How can I see the impact my purchases have made?

Your Purchase Feeds is built on transparency. We share cumulative meals provided, progress toward our North Star, stories from our nonprofit partners, and annual impact updates. Read our latest Shop LC impact report (PDF), or read more about each partner.

Soon, you'll also be able to see your own personal impact through your Shop LC account, including how many meals your purchases have helped provide.

Why does Shop LC do this?

Because we believe Delivering Joy should extend beyond the package. A beautiful piece of jewelry can brighten your day. A meal can change a child's tomorrow. We believe every purchase should do both.

What is your North Star?

Our goal is ambitious because the need is real. Our North Star is to help provide one million meals every day by 2040. Every purchase moves us one step closer to that goal. Together, we can help ensure that no child has to choose between learning and hunger.

How can I get involved beyond shopping?

There are many ways to help: email us to volunteer with one of our nonprofit partners, make an additional donation, share Your Purchase Feeds with friends and family, follow Shop LC to see impact stories throughout the year, and encourage your workplace to support childhood hunger initiatives.

Every act of generosity creates a ripple effect.

Why don't you simply lower prices instead of donating meals?

We believe value and generosity can exist together. Shop LC was built on delivering exceptional value directly to customers. Your Purchase Feeds reflects our belief that business can create positive impact without asking customers to choose between affordability and compassion.

Our goal has never been to choose between selling jewelry and helping children. Our goal is to do both.

Small purchases. Big impact.

Your support helps feed children, build stronger communities and create a brighter tomorrow.
