Dear John,

We hope that you were able to share some time around the table together with family, friends or neighbors last week. We all know it wouldn’t be possible without the good food that family farmers and ranchers work year-round to provide us. As you’ve probably heard by now, today is GivingTuesday and we hope you’ll take a moment to join us in standing up for them to support all they do for us!

Farm Aid depends on the support of people like you to continue our mission to strengthen family farmers, providing emergency assistance in times of crisis, connecting them to the resources they need to thrive, and building the movement for family farm food. We’re excited to participate in this global day of generosity and hope that you’ll join us with a gift of the same amount or more if you can.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 today with help from you and some generous donors who are matching a portion of the funds raised this GivingTuesday. Your generous gift will enable Farm Aid to continue our work to keep our essential family farmers on the land, growing the good food we all need and stewarding our soil, water and climate. But we can’t reach our goal without your support

Won’t you please take a moment to show family farmers just how much we appreciate the hard work they do year-round? Give a gift today to support our family farmers and see your contribution doubled!

Please join us today on GivingTuesday to make a difference in the lives of our essential family farmers! Here’s how you can help:

1. Participate in GivingTuesday
Make a gift to Farm Aid to help us reach our goal on GivingTuesday.

​2. ​Spread the Word
Help us get the word out on social media! Post your favorite food and farm photos or tell people why you love Farm Aid. Be sure to use the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #FarmAid. You can even start your own fundraising campaign to raise more for Farm Aid.

​3. ​Eat Well, Do Good
Finally, don’t forget to share your support of family farmers every day by eating good food grown in your community.

Please help us reach our goal this GivingTuesday. Your support matters to family farmers, our communities and to everyone who eats!

Gratefully,

Steve Snyder
Development and Brand Director
