Earlier this year, Williams Sonoma along with its sibling brands in parent Williams-Sonoma, Inc.’s portfolio, initiated fundraising efforts for No Kid Hungry to help alleviate conditions made worse by the coronavirus outbreak. Pottery Barn, PB Kids, Rejuvenation and West Elm also will launch products this year to drive additional awareness and fundraising for the charity. No Kid Hungry is a national campaign to end childhood hunger in the United States.
In announcing the new Tools for Change initiatives, Stone said, “Our world has recently seen particularly challenging times, from natural disasters to global health crises. There’s also a tragedy persisting right in our own schools and neighborhoods that so often goes unnoticed: kids who aren’t getting enough to eat. I created my No Kid Hungry spatula design to remind all of us that we’re fighters and that we can get through anything together, including putting an end to childhood hunger.”

Parton said, “I’ve often said that I never had children of my own so that all children could be mine. The thought of anyone going hungry is horrible but knowing that it’s a child is simply heartbreaking. We all have to do our part to take care of the little ones around us who need extra love. This spatula program might help in some small way. I have always seen a butterfly as a symbol of freedom and beauty, and I hope this butterfly comes into your home sharing that thought.”
