John, the war in Ukraine is worsening the existing global food crisis, putting millions more children at risk of famine. As we approach the height of summer, extreme weather conditions are making this situation even more dire.

• Across the Horn of Africa, a two-year drought has 7.1 million children waking up each day at risk of acute food insecurity. We have worked in the area for the past 70 years providing nutritious food, medical care and child protection, but this crisis is unprecedented.
• Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, child hunger has skyrocketed in the United States. Our teams delivered nearly 9 million meals across rural America when schools were shuttered, and we continue to work to address poverty and hunger throughout the U.S.
• 2.5 million Ukrainian refugee children are at severe risk of hunger. Our emergency response teams are providing lifesaving resources and care and will remain in the region as long as it takes to help children recover from this crisis.

This community’s generosity helps our teams continue to provide resources and care to children facing hunger and other unimaginable crises around the world. Your support makes all the difference. Today, will you continue to support the children who need it most?

We’re looking for 500 dedicated champions for children – including you, John, to sign our pledge before midnight to support children in crisis around the world.

Please, will you add your name to stand with children facing hunger and other crises in Ukraine, the Horn of Africa and around the world? Show your support through this simple gesture for children who deserve better and brighter futures.

Every action, no matter how large or small, helps create change that lasts a lifetime for children. Thank you.
