Hi John – As a mom, I can’t imagine telling my daughters that I don’t have any food for them to eat. And yet, that heartbreaking conversation is happening more and more these days. Because of the pandemic, more children are experiencing hunger in our country. In fact, the number of kids who aren’t getting enough to eat has risen to nearly 1 in 4. Without nutritious food, children can’t learn, grow and thrive. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today, First Name. The Biden stimulus plan includes critical resources to help ensure kids don’t go hungry. And it includes vital funding for child care, too. But now we need Congress to approve that funding. You can help by making a donation today so we can fight child hunger and help kids everywhere thrive! Can you chip in $10 today to help? In one of the richest countries in the world, children should not suffer from hunger. And thanks to your activism, we saw a big win at the end of last year when Congress increased funding for child nutrition programs. And while that increase in funding will help, as the pandemic has grown so has the number of kids who aren’t getting enough to eat. That’s why we have to keep speaking out – and we won’t stop until childhood hunger is a thing of the past! Your kindness will help give children a strong start in life. Together, we can help ensure children have what they need – from good nutrition to early education – to grow, learn and succeed! Please donate today! |
