Dear John,

Amid our own Thanksgiving cheer, it can be easy to forget that for many kids, yesterday was just another hungry day.

The holidays should be a time of joy and plenty for everyone — which is why I’m asking you to make today another day of giving. As you’re shopping this Black Friday, will you put meals in your cart by making your first donation to No Kid Hungry?

Kids shouldn’t have to hold off hunger with “meals” like mustard sandwiches or ketchup soup — especially not on Thanksgiving. Indeed, the holidays are one of the hardest times of year for families facing hunger.

John, I’m urging you to make today the day you become a No Kid Hungry supporter. Give just $25, and you can help provide 250 nutritious meals — how’s that for a Black Friday deal?

All kids deserve to share in the joy and magic of the holidays — free from worry about when they’ll next get to eat. Thank you in advance for your help.

With gratitude,
