A Charity Watch That Provides 100 Meals Per Purchase



In January 2013, Michael Kors announced a long-term partnership with the WFP to address the issue of hunger. Now, Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry has joined thisglobal campaignin support of the hunger eradication campaign. Berry has previously supported victims of domestic violence and raised funds for cancer research and treatment, receiving the "Mothers Who Make a Difference" award from Love Our Children USA in 2009 for her contributions. For her, known as a philanthropist, standing up against hunger for women and children is a natural progression.

Halle Berry, who states that women play a crucial role in the fight against hunger, expressed her enthusiasm: "As mothers, mentors, and entrepreneurs, women transform families, communities, and the future. I am confident that by cooperating with this campaign, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need."

Michael Kors also commented: "Her participation has brought new energy to the initiative. Of course, the power of a star is incredibly important. We are delighted that she has joined our campaign and is working with us."
