That’s why Orgain is partnering with FoodCorps to launch “Food for Thought,” a program that helps connect kids with healthy, nourishing school meals. Here's how you can help: Add any Orgain product to your Instacart at checkout through the end of September, and Orgain will make a donation to support FoodCorps’ mission, up to $250,000.
