Bigstuph Blog – Thoughts from Steve

What started as a small company initiative at Stuph Clothing has grown to something we never imagined.

In April of 2009 I picked up a package of the Kids Against Hunger meal package while I was in Haiti at the Hands and Feet Project. In November 2009, we opened up our Stuph Clothing offices to become a packaging satellite for Kids Against Hunger. Every morning at 7:59 we gather as a staff to package 864 meals. This daily routine is what helps us focus on leveraging our resources to Change This World.

Little did we know that the 40,000 meals we packaged in November and December would be needed in such a HUGE way once the earthquake hit Haiti in Mid January. Since the devastating earthquake, our Change This World, Inc. non profit, in conjunction with Kids Against Hunger has packaged nearly 400,000 meals and shipped them off to Haiti.

Initially, as a staff at Stuph Clothing we had committed to packaging 350,000 meals in 2010. We decided that every shirt we sell, we will set aside $.25, which provides a meal and safe drinking water. Our partnerships with Kids Against Hunger and Hay’s Pure Water For All Foundation became the foundation in which we would build our Change This World, Inc. initiative.

We had the opportunity to have a 60 day dress rehearsal before we needed to be mobilized to action. In 2010 our satellite for Kids Against Hunger will package 6,000,000. Father, I pray for your direction, blessing, and wisdom as we leverage all we have to Change This World. To God be the Glory.
