Dear friends,

First off, the whole team at A Stronger Louisiana hopes that you and your loved ones are safe during these uncertain and worrying times.

The COVID-19 outbreak is an unprecedented challenge in Louisiana. But in times like this, we pull together and help each other out. Governor Edwards has called on us all to do what we can to help the most vulnerable among us and those who have suddenly found themselves out of work. That's why we're issuing a donation challenge -- we will match up to $10,000 of gifts made to Feeding Louisiana, a network of more than 900 community and faith-based organizations across Louisiana that distribute food to those in need.

We know that not everyone may be able to donate at this time. But, if you are willing and able to give, your donation can make a big difference for Louisiana families in need.

Donate to Feeding Louisiana today and be sure to enter your designation as "STRONGER" so your gift will be matched.

Feeding Louisiana is made up of the five Feeding America member food banks serving all of Louisiana's 64 parishes. These food banks partner with more than 900 community and faith-based organizations to distribute food throughout Louisiana.

Right now, it feels like much is out of our control. This is a very difficult time for many. But one thing we can do is show up for each other and our communities. That's how we will get through this.

Make a donation today to Feeding Louisiana and have your contribution matched. Give now if you can and use the designation "STRONGER."

Thank you and stay safe,

The Team at A Stronger Louisiana
