“Whenever I entertain at my house, I always have a waiter at the elevator with a tray of drinks. There is always a friendly face when you arrive,” says Kevin. The FEED Supper was no exception.
Said guest of honor Lauren Bush Lauren, "My team and I could not have been more thrilled when we heard Martha and Kevin were hosting a FEED Supper. Our campaign concept is rooted in the power of food to bring people together around a shared purpose of feeding those in need. Who better to help us in that mission than Martha Stewart?"
