Meet Hung, a Thrive Gives Member & Father On a Healthy Eating Journey 

If you’re a family in financial need—including teachers, nurses, first responders, students, veterans, and EBT cardholders—you qualify for a free one-year membership through Thrive Gives. With it, you’ll get access to member-only benefits from Thrive Market.

When Hung learned his cholesterol was high, he knew it was time for a change. As a lifelong snacker, he didn’t want to give up grazing throughout the day — but he knew it was time to switch to healthier options for himself and his family.

That’s when he discovered Thrive Market. After being a member for a few years, Hung started to look into the Thrive Gives program. “I submitted my name and was ecstatic when they offered me a Thrive Gives membership,” Hung says.

Since Hung and his wife, Ebony, have two young kids (Jordan, age 4, and Sienna, 6 months) at home, the convenience of having organic pantry staples and better-for-you snacks delivered made a big difference. Hung began swapping conventional foods for alternatives made with avocado or coconut oil, simple ingredient lists, and organic options. The result? He lost 25 pounds, lowered his cholesterol, and regained his energy.

Best of all, Hung’s positive lifestyle changes impacted his whole family. His son now happily reaches for wholesome cereals and snacks, and mealtimes center around clean, nourishing ingredients. “We’re healthier and happier as a family,” Hung says. “We have a lot of healthy meal options, healthy snacks. Thrive Gives really made this lifestyle possible.” 

Hung’s Thrive Market Favorites

With Thrive Gives, Hung has discovered plenty of pantry staples and snacks he and his family love:

• LesserEvil Popcorn – A go-to for satisfying salty cravings, made with organic coconut oil instead of seed oils.
• Siete Grain-Free Tortilla Chips – A family favorite for dipping in salsa or guacamole.
• Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Potato Chips – Hung’s son loves these crunchy kettle chips, while Hung and Ebony prefer the thin and crispy variety.
• Three Wishes Grain-Free Cereal – A simple, minimal-ingredient cereal that quickly became his son’s breakfast and snack-time staple.
• Thrive Market Organic Quick Oats – The base for Hung’s overnight oats and weekend banana pancakes, always organic and glyphosate-free.
• Thrive Market Organic Creamy Peanut Butter – Just peanuts and salt, perfect for PB&Js, sauces, or snacking.
