John, the most heartbreaking fact about the childhood hunger crisis in our country is this: It’s a crisis we know how to solve. And one of the most effective solutions is SNAP – a vital nutrition program that fills millions of kids’ plates.

But right now, SNAP is facing the threat of massive budget cuts in Congress.

At a moment like this, our mission is more crucial than ever – but all of our efforts rely on your support. That’s why this is so important: Thanks to a match offer from Mike and Mary Anne Cook, every dollar you give today for kids facing hunger will be DOUBLED, up to our $25,000 goal.

Will you please give $25 – or anything you can spare right now – to have it go TWICE as far toward connecting kids to the meals they need?

A core part of our mission at No Kid Hungry is advocating for key nutrition programs like SNAP. This program supports more than 17 million children through a monthly benefit for families to purchase groceries.

With this support, kids get consistent access to nutritious food – food that supports memory development, social skills and emotional stability, which are all key to academic success. Research also shows that kids receiving SNAP benefits are healthier than those who don’t have access to the program – and their families are less likely to sacrifice health care to pay for other basic necessities.

By being strong advocates of programs like SNAP, we’re helping millions more children get the nutrition they need to do better in school, stay healthy and thrive.

Unfortunately, Congress is considering major cuts to SNAP and other anti-hunger initiatives. That’s why this match opportunity to increase our support for children and boost our advocacy efforts couldn’t have come at a better time, and we’re counting on YOU to take advantage of it.

Please, John, don’t miss your chance to help more children in need of our urgent support: Give $25 or more now and have it DOUBLED toward our efforts to support vital nutrition programs for children and end childhood hunger.

Thank you,

– Team No Kid Hungry
