Dear John,
Hope can be hard to come by in the midst of a hunger
crisis. But thanks to friends like you, I do have hope.
I won't deny that there are some grim numbers in our
recent "The Longest Summer" report, but your generosity continues to
make a difference. Millions of meals are being served every day. Broad
public understanding of the hunger crisis, both now and before the
pandemic, has risen. And that in turn has helped put pressure on
Congress to enact necessary food aid reforms to meet the needs of a
very hungry nation.

But we've got our work cut out for us, and as our
partner in the fight against childhood hunger, you deserve to know
what we're up against.
Here are just a few snapshots from the report:
* Nearly half of all American families are living with hunger, and
the situation is even worse for latino and Black families.
* 39% of American families are skipping rent and other bills so
they can buy food.
* More than half of surveyed parents say they are skipping meals
or eating less in order to keep their kids fed.
* Unprecedented numbers of families who were self-sufficient until
now are depending on food banks and government aid.
John,
make no mistake. We're not giving up, even in the face of a
challenge like this one.
With your help, we're pushing forward to end
childhood hunger once and for all. I believe with all my heart
that's an achievable goal one day. Please know how grateful we
are for your help. And please don't lose hope.
With gratitude and determination,
Amy Zganjar
