J.Lo and A-Rod Donated a Year’s Worth of School Lunches to Students in Need
We already know Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez as an unstoppable power couple, and on Monday they made that fact even more undeniable by announcing their new food line. In the spirit of giving back, the couple donated a year's worth of their meals to a Tennessee elementary school.
The line of healthy meals, called Tiller & Hatch Supply Co., is meant to be "flavorful, nutritious and budget-friendly," according to the press release. A portion of the proceeds from all sales will benefit different shelters and charities that help fight hunger, and they took that goal of theirs a step further by donating directly to a school in need.
Jennifer and Alex heard about Jacksboro Elementary School from a touching Facebook post that went viral. Brooke Goins, a teacher at the school, wrote about how faculty members pitched in to buy groceries for a student that talked to her about his lack of food at home.
"He asked when the lady that puts food in his backpack was coming. It caught me off guard, because it is our guidance counselor and I wasn’t sure what he needed," Goins wrote in the post. "He told me he was out of it at home and needed more."
She went on to write about how she texted some of the other teachers, and they all pooled their money together to buy his groceries to last him for the week and through his fall break. Goins later updated the post after it went viral to say that her school was starting a food pantry for students in need.
Jennifer and Alex caught wind of the story and decided to make a difference. In a video posted to Jennifer's Instagram, the two can be seen video chatting with Goins and her classroom, and said they will be providing a year's worth of their Tiller & Hatch meals to the school.
In her Instagram caption, Jennifer talks about how excited she is to be able to giveback through her partnership with Tiller & Hatch. "We are happy to be in business with partners who also believe no child should EVER have to go to sleep hungry. Everyone should have access to delicious, nutritious food," she wrote. "This was my favorite moment of the month and it’s one of the best things we’ve been able to do."
