Team,
1 in 6 families with children, or 26 million Americans, are having trouble putting food on the table. And, today, millions of Americans will depend on food banks for their Thanksgiving meal.
That’s why we’re supporting critical work by José Andres’s World Central Kitchen (WCK) right now. Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, WCK has been working across the U.S. to safely distribute individually packaged, fresh meals in communities that need support, as well as delivery to seniors who can’t travel to get meals.
During my campaign I was proud to put out the first ever plan to eliminate hunger and food insecurity. There’s so much more that needs to be done to keep families fed in the wealthiest nation on Earth.
More Americans are going hungry now than at any point during the deadly coronavirus pandemic. To date, WCK has provided more than 30 million meals in more than 400 cities.
WCK is also partnering with restaurants to help meet this demand by providing jobs for their staff and meals for those in need. In fact, World Central Kitchen has purchased more than 11 million meals from local restaurants totaling more than $117 million, and delivered those meals directly to Americans that need assistance.
Your contribution today will power this work and ensure that World Central Kitchen is able to continue to provide meals to hungry Americans and support local restaurants and working people. Can you step up and make a contribution today?
Thank you for stepping up today, and I hope you have a safe and healthy holiday.
