Matching Gift Challenge
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Friend,

Did you see this email over the weekend from Mercy Corps’ Director of Food
Security, Cathy Bergman? Global hunger is on the rise, due in part to an
increase in extreme poverty and inequity caused by the pandemic.

Mercy Corps is determined to meet these challenges, and I hope you’ll join
us.

I also wanted to make sure you saw that we have a Matching Gift Challenge
happening now: A group of generous donors contributed to our Matching Gift
Challenge Fund to encourage supporters like you to match their gifts. Our
goal is to raise $60,000 in matching gifts by July 31. [ [link removed]- ]Combined with

conflict, COVID-19, and more.

Dear Friend,

I’d like to talk to you about hunger.

As Mercy Corps’ Director of Food Security and Nutrition, I’ve noticed how
news stories and nonprofit emails about global hunger are often paired
with images of frail children, or families wondering where the next meal
will come from — portraying them as helpless people who simply need to be
fed.

At Mercy Corps, we believe it’s time to change the way the world sees
hunger — and the people experiencing it.

When our team responds to hunger, we don’t stop at providing people with
nutritious food or cash vouchers to purchase what they need to survive
right now. We collaborate with them to address the issues that prevent
them from growing or buying food in the first place.

We join with local communities to identify the root causes of hunger.
Whether by improving crop production, supporting peacekeeping efforts, or
developing more reliable income sources, we work together to build a
foundation of well-being, so that people can create the secure,
productive, and just communities they envision for themselves.

When drought in Niger decimated Hadiara’s harvest, Mercy Corps helped her
secure seeds and a goat. The goat’s milk provided extra nutrition for her
family, plus a new source of potential income.

Will you make a first-time
gift to support this work? Now is a wonderful time to
give, because a group of donors has contributed to our Matching Gift
Challenge Fund to encourage new supporters
like you to match their
gifts. [ [link removed]- ]Our goal is to raise $60,000 in matching gifts by July 31.

Worldwide, 795 million people remain undernourished, at least 528 million
of whom live in countries where Mercy Corps serves. And we know firsthand
that the underlying causes of hunger are as complex as the solutions.

When you support us as we partner with communities to improve their
resilience to the effects of climate change, build job opportunities, or
prevent the spread of COVID‑19, you are helping us fight hunger, too.

Because food security is an outcome of many of our programs. And the
people facing these challenges are not helpless — they are their
communities’ most powerful agents of change.

[ [link removed]- ]I hope you’ll join us by making a donation today, as we work together
to change the way the world sees and responds to the challenges of global
hunger. Your support makes a difference.

In partnership,

Cathy Bergman,
Director for Food Security and Nutrition, Mercy Corps
