Dear john, 

Our nation and world have experienced so much trauma in 2020, and it’s almost unfathomable to add another crisis to the list of challenges we face. But yesterday, our hearts broke as Hurricane Laura made landfall as a Category 4 storm, leaving destruction in her wake in Louisiana and Texas. We immediately put our response plan into action.

As a member of the Partnership for Humanity, a consortium of NGOs and FEMA, we activated our network and prepared to provide assistance in the form of warehouse space, truck usage and flood buckets and kits. 

You are part of something extremely special: a global body of Hunger Champions that was built from the ground up, one volunteer, faith group, Rotary club and corporation at a time, more than 20 years ago. This group is one that radiates resilience in the midst of extreme challenges like this one. Again and again, we rise together to assist our global neighbors in crisis. We’re asking that you join us, as you have so many times before, as we respond to Hurricane Laura.

By donating to our Global Emergency Relief Fund, you’ll ensure that we’re able to mobilize resources immediately to families and communities who are struggling to pick up the pieces in the wake of disasters like this one, and to begin the journey toward recovery. You can be their lifeline.

At Rise Against Hunger, we recognize that so many of you are working to overcome daunting challenges in your own communities today. It means so much that you continue to give what you can to advance the fight against hunger, against all odds.
