A Note from Our Co-Founder
“The playing field in this country is anything but level. You can’t pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you can’t afford boots. We are a country that believes in the self-made man, but there is such a disparity in opportunity, in education and in nutrition for our families—some kids don’t have a shot unless we all work harder to create equitable opportunity and access.”
—Jennifer Garner, Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer
