3 Good Things That Happened This Month

Dear John,

It’s officially summer — can you feel it in the air? We are thrilled to be able to share three joyous accomplishments with you this June, none of which would have been possible without your never-ending support. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to our mission of ending childhood hunger — please join us in celebrating below!

Celebrating Moms to End Childhood Hunger

The inaugural Moms First Summit this past month marked a pivotal moment in addressing childhood hunger by focusing on the economic and social well-being of mothers, particularly single mothers. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was one of many speakers who represented a wide range of voices and perspectives along with governors, astronauts, journalists and actors.

Each speaker emphasized the power of choice for women and storytelling, as well as the need for paid leave, childcare and maternal health benefits. The summit showcased a shared commitment to supporting mothers nationwide, with discussions on policy changes and personal experiences driving the momentum to end childhood hunger.

Summer Meals Help All Kinds of Families

In Horatio, Arkansas, summers are a time that highlight community strength, as people come together to ensure that kids have access to essential meals. Community summer meals programs become a lifeline and support, not only for families from low-income households, but also those with disabilities or complex work schedules.

They provide more than just food; they offer reassurance and a sense of security in times of need. Such support enables children like Samantha, Alina, Vivian and Benson to thrive and dream big, thanks to the collective effort of neighbors and friends. También disponsible en español.
