Dear John,
I hope you are safe and well. My heart goes out to you and
your loved ones.
I wanted to share with you the steps No Kid Hungry has
taken in light of the impact the coronavirus is having on kids living
with hunger. When schools closed abruptly nationwide, millions of kids
lost their most reliable access to food and thousands of No Kid Hungry
supporters stepped in to help.
Thanks to donor support, No Kid Hungry has already sent
grants to hard-hit areas and committed a total of $5 million over the
next few weeks.
Here are just a few ways these emergency grants are
already helping:
* Manna, a Maryland food bank just outside of Washington, DC, is
using No Kid Hungry funds to provide emergency meals for kids in
need.
* In San Francisco, donations are helping the school district
purchase equipment for 18 sites where they are distributing
meals to kids in need.
* In Massachusetts, local partner Project Bread is using grant
funds to coordinate free meal sites and expand the Food Source
Hotline, which connects families in need with food banks,
pantries and sites across the state.
* Washington, DC's Bread for the City is using grant funds
to purchase food and supplies for low-income clients and their
children, including baby and infant food packets.
In the coming weeks, No Kid Hungry has pledged to provide
millions in emergency grant funding to schools and community groups
feeding children. And we will be sure to report back the impact that
you and the rest of the No Kid Hungry community are making for hungry
kids.
To learn more about our strategy for feeding kids during
the coronavirus pandemic, listen to a briefing that Executive Chair
Billy Shore gave this past Friday.
