Gilt Groupe has selected Lauren Bush as part of their Heroes tribute due to her dedication to many causes including the FEED Nature Fund, a non-profit organization she founded.

After a devastating natural disaster – food, education, and replanting are three vital interventions that are needed to stabilize and revive.
