Friend,

In an op-ed I co-wrote with Republican Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona, we call upon Congress to act fast before Millions more Americans go hungry. Mayors across the country are seeing the same things.

You can read it here.

“With inflation on the rise and supply chain backlogs, more families have been turning to food banks, forcing programs nationwide to ration supplies and cut services. And now the war in Ukraine is leading to more food shortages and driving up prices even further. Now is not the time to turn our backs on those who cannot afford to put food on the table.”

I’m fighting with every fiber of my being to help those in our communities that need it most. No Richmonder, Virginian, or American should ever have to feel the torments of hunger.

Today is my end-of-April fundraising deadline, and we have another $2,390 to raise before midnight. Every dollar supports the fight for our future. Will you help?

Thank you,

Levar Stoney

Mayor of Richmond
