NEW YORK, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- HelloFresh, one of the world's leading meal kit delivery companies, has partnered with (RED) for the EAT (RED) SAVE LIVES campaign to engage the culinary community in the fight against AIDS by offering limited edition (HELLOFRESH)^RED meal kits to home cooks across the country. Throughout the month of June, recipes from (RED) chef ambassadors Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, Carla Hall and Rachael Ray will be available in HelloFresh meal kits. HelloFresh will offer $20 off, as well as donate $20 to the Global Fund from every order made by a new customer during the month of June using code HelloRED. Additionally, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match every dollar raised, up to $500,000. This is the first time that home cooks across the country can support the AIDS fight in their own kitchens through a variety of chef-designed recipes, with the goal to #86AIDS.

"Working with these (RED) chef ambassadors to support an important issue is a true honor for HelloFresh," said Ed Boyes, CEO of HelloFresh US. "Bringing EAT (RED) SAVE LIVES into customers' homes with our meal kits will surely help in making an even larger impact in fighting AIDS. HelloFresh is a natural partner to generate awareness and empower home cooks to be a part of the (RED) impact."

These chefs are known for getting creative in the kitchen, and they each developed a recipe that will be offered in the meal kits, weekly throughout June. Starting with Mario Batali's Spaghetti with Fresh Tomatoes, Chorizo, and Basil available in the box from June 3rd to 9th, home chefs will rightly feel like they are dining in one of Batali's Michelin-starred restaurants. The week of June 10th to 16th will have Emeril Lagasse's Herby Dijon Chicken Breasts with Zucchini and Red Potatoes, which will lead to Rachael Ray's Grilled Buffalo Chicken with Carrot-Celery Slaw and Mashed Taters, the following week of June 17th to 23rd. Lastly, Carla Hall's Summery Lemon Chicken with Tarragon Chimichurri will be available in the box from June 24th to 30th. Customers can select one chef ambassador recipe, plus two others, as part of their weekly HelloFresh delivery.

"Spaghetti with chorizo and juicy fresh tomatoes is what I crave in the summer. It's quick, it's customizable and I love turning up the spice by adding extra jalapeños. The best part… when you order it during June, it's raising money and awareness to fight AIDS with (RED). Bring on the heat!," said chef Mario Batali.

Deborah Dugan, CEO, (RED), said "We're thrilled to be teaming-up with HelloFresh this June to bring (RED) into kitchens across the country. There is so much that home cooks can do to support the AIDS fight, and what better place to start that conversation than with the delivery of these delicious (HELLOFRESH)^RED meal-kits created by our hugely talented chef ambassadors, Mario Batali, Rachael Ray, Emeril Lagasse and Carla Hall."

In addition to the $20 donation by HelloFresh for new subscribers, all customers will have an opportunity to donate directly via the HelloFresh website, with those donations being matched by The Gates Foundation, up to $75,000. All money raised will go to The Global Fund. Visit HelloFresh.com/eatRED or RED.org for additional information, or learn more about (RED) on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
