Dear John,
People often ask me, "How can I make a difference in solving a problem as large as childhood hunger?"
My answer is always the same: It’s the power of one.
Drop by drop, the ocean is made. In the same way, one act builds on another, turning into an ocean of compassion that puts food on the table for millions of kids.
Your acts of generosity and kindness matter. Just look at our response to the coronavirus pandemic.

One plus one plus one ... it adds up.
We can end hunger one child at a time, one school district at a time,
one state at a time. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve

Successfully advocated for policy changes to help communities feed kids in
ALL 50 STATES

Helped find free meals in their neighborhood for more than
250,000 FAMILIES

Together, we helped bring about one of the greatest mass mobilizations in history. Powered in part by generous people like you, along with educators, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, food pantries, and others who joined together to make sure the pandemic and the school closings didn’t get in the way of putting food on the table for hungry kids.
One self-described ‘lunch lady,’ Ms. Lola, put it like this:
“We had to reinvent everything: the way we would serve, the way we prepare, the way we set up, even the way we talk to parents, the way we talked to kids.”
Then, one by one, Ms. Lola and her team ensured that 17 million meals were delivered to kids in just one California school district.
That is the Power of One. It starts with you. And we are so deeply grateful.
Thank you for your continued support.
