Continuing his philanthropic efforts, in 2013 Michael Kors launched “Watch Hunger Stop,” partnering with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to help fight world hunger. Proceeds from annual special-edition products, as well as from other targeted initiatives, help provide food to children through WFP’s school meals program. To date, Michael Kors has helped WFP deliver over twenty five million meals (and counting) to hungry children.
