The supplier donated a portion of sales from its Power Bar power bank to the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children.

In 2023, the Cerritos, raised $8,953.64 through its Power Bar for Hungry Kids charity campaign for the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children (FMSC). The supplier’s charity campaign donates a portion of annual sales for its popular Power Bar, a power bank that’s disguised as an ordinary nutrition bar.

Twintech Industry donated nearly $9,000 in 2023 to help Feed My Starving Children provide MannaPack meals to combat malnutrition around the world.

Twintech CEO and founder HC Chao said that as a father and a minority business owner, FMSC was a charity close to his heart. Chao added that he wanted to give back to an organization that helps take care of those who are most vulnerable.

Since its founding in 1987, FMSC has shipped more than 4 billion meals to over 100 countries, according to its website. The nonprofit also notes that 91% of each dollar donated goes directly toward feeding children, and that 99.8% of FMSC meals have safely reached their intended destination. The nonprofit creates three different “MannaPack” meal formulas developed by food science and nutrition professionals “to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition,” according to the FMSC site. Each meal, packed primarily by volunteers, costs less than 30 cents, with a $106 donation enough to feed a child for an entire year.

Twintech said its contribution will ensure that more than 30,000 meals will be provided to children to help fight against hunger in local and worldwide communities.

Consumers can now proudly swear fealty with more than just the brand’s drinkware.

The Stanley Quencher gained unprecedented consumer loyalty throughout the past year, solidifying its status as the top-selling drinking vessel in the market.

Now, the company has launched an apparel line.

On offer for Stanley fans who want to “Wear the Bear” (the tagline for the collection, in a nod to the brand’s logo) are basics like T-shirts, caps, hoodies, sweatshirts and socks.

This crewneck sweatshirt features two embroidered Quencher tumblers on the left chest. Colors include black, rose quartz, cream and even Stanley green – in homage to the Hammertone green that Stanley, a brand that’s more than 100 years old, made popular with its classic vacuum bottle for many decades.

The Classic Patch corduroy cap in ginger has an embroidered patch.

Stanley also has T-shirt options for kids, with screen-printing in bright, eye-catching colors.

The Kids Roar Tee in cream has a playful imprint.

Stanley isn’t the first retail drinkware line to expand into clothing. Competitor YETI also has an apparel line with T-shirts, caps and beanies.

In recent weeks, shoppers stormed Target locations to snag a special-edition “Galentine’s Day” Stanley Quencher. Stanley also responded to consumer concerns about lead in the vessels, saying they’re “making progress on innovative, alternative materials for use in the sealing process.” Vacuum-insulated tumblers like the Quencher are often constructed with a small lead pellet in the bottom to seal the insulation. It’s encased in glass and therefore inaccessible by users unless the drinkware is badly damaged.
