Dear John,
I don’t know about you, but the coronavirus crisis still feels surreal to me. But it’s all too real for the vulnerable families and children who were already barely scraping by. And now, the need is multiplying day after day.
If you can, please make an emergency donation to No Kid Hungry, and our Leading Partner Citi will match your gift up to $2 million.
As you read this, kids in need have missed 132,738,779 school meals. We need your support to reach them. Your donation will help power No Kid Hungry’s multi-pronged strategy that includes:
- Emergency grants to local partners in stricken areas. We’re providing $5M in grants to local organizations and school districts that are feeding kids over the next few weeks— and much more is to come. Requests are pouring in, and we’re focusing on providing the hardest-hit areas with support.
- A wide range of efforts, including home-delivered meals, pop-up meals programs, school and community pantries, backpack programs and other steps to help reach children and families who lose access to meals.
- Consulting with governors and other policy makers. We’re sharing best practices for feeding kids safely and lobbying for critical relief measures such as emergency SNAP funding for low-income families.
- Our ongoing work to ensure kids get the healthy meals they need every day
Give today, and Citi will match your compassionate donation, up to $2 million.
Any amount will help. The need is real, and it is urgent.

Please stay safe and be well.
