Dear John, |
|
With full stomachs from yesterday’s Thanksgiving meal, it’s hard to imagine how starkly different this weekend can feel when you’re a child who doesn’t get enough to eat. For hungry boys and girls, a four-day holiday can
mean four days of hunger.
|
|
Sara Jackson, a teacher in Washington, D.C., saw a young boy standing alone in the school parking lot the first morning after Thanksgiving break, for example. He walked across town at first light because
he was so famished he couldn't wait for the school day to start.
|
|
Little boys like this one are the reason we’ll be there Monday morning with a healthy, filling nutritious breakfast.
|
Will you be there with us?
Make a special gift to No Kid Hungry right now.

|
John, too many children in our country struggle just like that boy. Millions of kids rely on school meals. They spend their holiday breaks, with tummies growling, just waiting to go back.
|
|
Your donation will help fill the plates of hungry children nationwide — and ensure they get the food they need throughout the year.

Sara saw this young student and was thankful he could count on getting the food he needed at school, even though he didn’t get enough at home. John, today I am so thankful for generous friends like you, who will share the joy of the season with children in need.
|
|
Thank you so much for all you do.

P.S. At this time of year when you take stock of what you’re thankful for, you can feel good knowing any gift you give will help others who are less fortunate. Remember, every $10 you give will help us fill up to 100 plates for children in need. |
