Dear John,

You can’t buy much for $1 these days. A pack of gum, perhaps? Or maybe a small coffee?

But at No Kid Hungry, $1 can help connect hungry kids with 10 healthy meals. John, that means your donation of just $10 can help provide 100 much-needed meals for kids in District of Columbia and across the country, so I hope you’ll make your first gift now.

As you consider what to give, remember that the meals you help make possible can do so much more than fill an empty belly. They can offer hope. They can relieve anxiety. They can give a hungry child a fair shot at fulfilling their extraordinary potential. Suddenly, there’s real power in just $1!

And when your dollar combines with dollars from other compassionate people like you, hundreds of thousands of kids can get the food they so urgently need through vital programs like breakfast in the classroom and afterschool meals.

John, your $1 will put us one step closer to ending childhood hunger. You have the power to help. And now is the time to use it.

Thank you in advance for being there for hungry kids. Any gift you give will be deeply appreciated.

P.S. The kids are counting on you. And so am I. Please make a generous gift now.
