I wish I could reach out with a better update, John: We’re still falling very short of our $600,000 end-of-year goal, and you only have until midnight tomorrow to have your gift MATCHED by the Brighter Futures Fund, up to $300,000, to help us close the gap.

With 1 in 5 kids experiencing hunger heading into the new year, I’m personally asking you to donate right now to have every dollar DOUBLED toward healthy meals for the kids who need them most.

Working at No Kid Hungry, I have the privilege of visiting the communities we help and seeing the impact of your generosity firsthand.

One of those communities is the South San Antonio ISD school district, where supporters like you have made it possible for Hutchins Elementary to provide free breakfast for kids after the bell. That includes kids like Aya, who dreams of becoming a marine veterinarian. And Logan, who dreams of becoming a tattoo artist and a football star. And Andy, who dreams of becoming a scientist.

Recent numbers show that 13 million kids in the United States live with hunger, so having almost all kids in a school district receive free breakfast is incredibly important.

But our efforts in schools like Hutchins Elementary aren’t possible without supporters like you stepping up and taking full advantage of impactful match opportunities like this. So please, before this match expires, will you rush a donation for kids facing hunger?

Please make a tax-deductible gift now to have every dollar go TWICE as far toward building a future where no child goes hungry:
