Dear john, 

As we work to replenish our meal inventory after months without meal packaging activity, we’re looking to Hunger Champions like you to sponsor meals for children in need in countries like Colombia, Haiti, Nicaragua and Uganda. We had a strong response to our request earlier this week, and we are so grateful! There is still a long way to go to close our 22 million meal gap this year, so we’re asking again — we still need 400 sponsors at the $125 level, which is equivalent to 365 nutritious meals. Can you help? If you can’t commit at that level, any amount you give today will still help provide emergency nutrition for communities around the globe.

Dear john, 

As meal packaging slowly resumes across the country, we are thrilled to see our volunteers again — even from a social distance! Volunteer groups are the backbone of our work, and after 550+ meal packaging events were canceled this spring due to COVID-19, we couldn’t wait to get back together to package transformational meals for distribution worldwide.

But while meal packaging is back in action, millions of meals that were not able to be packaged in recent months represent a significant loss to children and families we serve.

As the number of people facing food insecurity continues to rise during COVID-19, we recognize that hunger won’t wait until later this fall, or next year, for us to catch up. 

We committed to sending 22 million meals to countries including Colombia, Haiti, Nicaragua and Uganda this year, and we are looking for 500 meal sponsors this week to help replenish our inventory. Can we count on you? 

Your donation will support our COVID-19 relief efforts, and could provide a meal match for volunteers who are able to package meals in the immediate future. No matter what, your support will be transformational for communities facing unimaginable challenges at this time.
