John,
Childhood hunger is prevalent in the United States, especially during the summer months.
1 in 5 kids lives with hunger, and only 13% of children who rely on free or reduced-price school meals have access to them when school is out for the summer. This means the summer hunger crisis impacts every corner of our country. Will you make a gift to help hungry kids who are suffering right now, John?
It’s especially heartbreaking to know that this crisis is completely avoidable — but this also means that, together, we can end it.
Fortunately, Congress has approved legislation that makes it easier for families in rural areas to access meals in the summer and expands a summer-long grocery benefit for kids. These changes have mobilized us more than ever to make a significant impact. With your support, we’ve provided millions of dollars to help schools and community organizations purchase critical equipment and hire staff to take advantage of the new rules this summer.
We’re also working hard to inform more families about summer meals and benefits. Over 1,000 people visited our free meals finder map every day of the summer last year, and our texting services helped families find meals in their communities over 100,000 times. This summer, celebrities like Al Roker, Chef Lorena Garcia and renowned Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez are helping us reach even more families through social media, traditional media and public service announcements in both English and Spanish.
All the tools are in place for us to make a major impact toward ending childhood hunger this summer. That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $1 million to support our current efforts that could help provide 10 MILLION MEALS for hungry kids — but we can only reach this goal with the dedicated support of compassionate people like you.
So please, John, will you give $50 or more now to help provide hungry kids across the country with the healthy meals and consistent nutrition they need to thrive this summer?
Thank you for providing life-changing support to help hungry children.
– Team No Kid Hungry
