Dear Friend,
I hope you saw the note below from Chef José Andrés and Nate Mook of World Central Kitchen.
Nearly 70% of our students in Central Arkansas qualify for free or reduced meals at school. When the schools closed in response to COVID-19, access to meals for an already food-insecure population became a primary concern. That’s when the Clinton Foundation, World Central Kitchen, and a number of local partners came together and formed the Pulaski County Meals Program.
As of today, we have provided more than 500,000 fresh, nutritious meals to students, families, seniors, and other vulnerable populations, and we are committed to continuing this essential program throughout the summer.
I would be grateful if you would consider supporting this impactful work. President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and Chelsea will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.

Dear Friend,
World Central Kitchen was built on a simple idea – where there are people hungry, we will share a hot plate of food.
We fight every day to feed and restore a bit of dignity to people in need. That fight takes the hands of many, and that is why we are so grateful to count President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation among our longtime partners and friends.
If you can, please give what you can and help fuel their efforts. We need great partners like the Clinton Foundation in times like these. [link removed][UNIQID]
We began work together in 2010, as part of the rebuilding efforts in Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake there.
We joined forces again following Hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico, where we worked with local farmers and food-related business owners to create greater food resiliency in the anticipation of future disasters.
And today, as we are dealt a terrible blow by COVID-19, World Central Kitchen, Clinton Foundation staff, local partners, and volunteers are hard at work at the Clinton Presidential Center in Arkansas, preparing, packing, and delivering meals to vulnerable communities. Together, we’ve provided more than 480,000 meals to date – and we’re not done.
Last week, President Clinton issued a special challenge. For every dollar donated to help the Clinton Foundation’s work continue, he and his family will match it, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.
So today, we write to ask for your help. If you are in a position to contribute, I hope you take a moment today and give what you can to support the Clinton Foundation – every dollar matters. [link removed][UNIQID]
President Clinton doesn’t back away from a challenge – he runs to them. In so many places where help is needed, he is there with his team. And we are proud to work alongside them.
Thank you for your consideration.
