Williams Sonoma Continues Effort to Stamp Out Childhood Hunger
Williams Sonoma has launched its annual Tools for Change fundraising program that features several spatulas designed by celebrities.
Now in its ninth year, the effort is once again supporting No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America. To date, the partnership has raised more than $18 million through the combined philanthropic efforts of all Williams-Sonoma, Inc. brands, which can help provide 180 million meals for kids.
As a part of this year’s fundraising efforts, Williams Sonoma is re-launching the brand’s popular Tools for Change program which features limited-edition spatulas, designed by celebrities, culinary personalities, rappers, rockstars, comedians and social media influencers. The purchase of each spatula for $15.95 can help No Kid Hungry provide 40 meals for kids.
This year’s Tools for Change spatulas were designed for Williams Sonoma by:
- P!nk & Willow Hart (P!nk’s Daughter)
- Kate Hudson & Rani (Kate Hudson’s Daughter)
- Common
- Kristin Cavallari
- Tiny Chef
- Heather McMahan
- Chef Joshua Weissman
- Joy Wilson of Joy the Baker
- Chelsey White of Chelsweets
- Yumna Jawad of Feel Good Foodie
Williams Sonoma will also be donating 30% of the proceeds of a select assortment of food items benefiting No Kid Hungry including:
- No Kid Hungry Chocolate Caramel Fudge Cookies – Crispy, gooey and deliciously decadent, our triple-layer cookies feature chocolate wafers that are topped with rich fudge caramel and dipped in chocolate. Set of 12, $24.95.

“Our annual Tools for Change campaign is an exciting opportunity for our customers to join Williams Sonoma and No Kid Hungry’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America,” said Williams Sonoma President Felix Carbullido. “We are grateful to our celebrity partners for designing this year’s spatulas and for using their platform to help Williams Sonoma raise money and awareness to support No Kid Hungry.”
“It takes all of us to end childhood hunger. The Tools for Change spatula program and the power of our partnership with Williams Sonoma embodies this spirit perfectly,” said Billy Shore, founder and executive chair of Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. “We’re grateful to Williams Sonoma year after year for providing the roster of celebrity spatula artists and its customers with the opportunity to support our nation’s kids. Each spatula sold means more kids have access to the food they need to thrive and the future they deserve.”
