Dear John,
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact all of us, it's also adding new challenges to the urgent effort to get food to hungry kids and families.
All across the country, lines at food banks and feeding sites are longer than ever. Childhood hunger has skyrocketed. In fact, 1 child in 4 could face hunger this year. It’s unbearable.
John, No Kid Hungry has pulled out all the stops to keep up with the exploding demand. But we urgently need your help.
|
And because there’s no end to the crisis in sight, we urge you to become a No Kid Hungry monthly donor to ensure kids get food this summer and all year long.

John, summer is always an especially hungry time for kids at risk. You see, millions of kids depend on school meals for much of their nutrition. No school means no school meals.
In most of the country, schools have been closed for months now. And whether kids will be returning to school in September is an open question. Your ongoing support will ensure children have access to food, no matter what.
As a monthly donor, you will be at the heart of our historic efforts that have already provided as many as 9 million meals every day to kids facing hunger. In recent weeks, thanks to the generosity of people like you, we have:
- Provided millions of dollars in emergency food grants to schools and community groups in every state.
- Successfully advocated for policy changes that will help families in need, including strengthening SNAP benefits and nationwide waivers that will allow schools and local organizations the flexibility they need to feed kids throughout the summer.
- Created a local texting service so families can find meal sites in their neighborhoods.
Many of these efforts touch the lives of families affected by the hunger crisis that existed even before the pandemic. These kids and families need you now more than ever.
John, I know you care. That’s why I am hoping you will take one more step to feed hungry kids every day by becoming a monthly donor. You may be the reason a hungry child gets to eat tomorrow.
Thank you in advance for your generous help.
