Dear John,

If you’re like me, last week was an opportunity to reflect and give thanks for the things that provide comfort and meaning in my life – friends, family and shelter to name a few. Many of us offered thanks to the family farmers who work every day to grow and harvest the good food we all need to survive. This is a season of giving, and your support of Farm Aid can provide critical assistance to family farmers when they need it most.

As you’ve probably heard by now, today is GivingTuesday and we hope you’ll join us in standing with our essential family farmers. Farm Aid depends on support from people like you to continue our mission to strengthen family farmers — providing emergency assistance in times of crisis, connecting them to the resources they need to thrive and building the movement for family farm food. We’re excited to participate in this global day of generosity. We hope that you’ll consider a gift to Farm Aid if you can.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 today with help from you and generous donors who are matching a portion of the funds raised this GivingTuesday. Thanks to their kindness, your gift will have double the impact, enabling Farm Aid to continue our work to keep family farmers on the land growing the good food we all need and stewarding our soil, water and climate. We can’t reach our goal without your support.

Please show family farmers how much you appreciate the hard work they do year-round. Give a gift today to support our family farmers and see your contribution doubled!

Please join us this GivingTuesday to make a difference in the lives of family farmers! Here’s how you can help:

1. Make a gift right now to help us reach our goal!
   Your gift is doubled today thanks to some generous matching donors. Head to our social media channels today to find out why they choose to support Farm Aid!
    

2. ​Spread the Word
   Want to see your good deed go even further? Help us get the word out on social media! Post your favorite food and farm photos or tell people why you love Farm Aid and use the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #FarmAid. You can even start your own fundraising campaign to raise funds for Farm Aid.

3. ​Eat Well, Do Good
   Finally, don’t forget to share your support of family farmers every day by eating good food grown in your community.

Won't you please help us reach our goal this GivingTuesday? Your support matters to family farmers, our communities and to everyone who eats!

THANK YOU!
