Did you know we can help make your gift go even further? Every $1 you donate is combined with an average of up to $4 from government and multilateral funding sources to make up to 5X the impact. Will you help us reach our July goal to raise $50,000 by giving before August 1? Sincerely, The Mercy Corps team ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Craig @ Mercy Corps <[email protected]> Date: Monday, July 25, 2022 at 9:39 AM Subject: This may surprise you |
Dear friend, COVID-19, climate change, and the war in Ukraine have severely weakened the global food system. The UN just reported that more than 800 million people worldwide are now suffering from hunger — and that number is growing. The scale of the global food crisis is immense. Our teams are working on the ground in 40+ countries around the world to reach as many people as possible who are feeling its effects. That’s why we’re reaching out today to share with you how your gift can provide up to 5 times more life-changing assistance. You see, at Mercy Corps, every $1 you donate is combined with an average of up to $4 in separate government and multilateral funding, enabling us to go 5X as far in helping people overcome enormous challenges. Rush your support before August 1 to help us meet our July $50,000 goal ▸ Our work helps to change the lives of people like Abongon Echwa in Kenya. Abongon is a single mother to six children. She collects heaps of firewood to sell at the market to support her family, but it is rarely enough to pay for food. Her landowner often shares food from their farm with Abongon and her family, but, because of severe drought, it has been difficult to grow anything.

We’ve set a $50,000 July goal to help fuel programs that can be life-changing for people facing hunger, poverty, and conflict. Will you show up to help people in crisis during these challenging times? Together, with generous new supporters like you, we can go up to 5X as far. Thank you,
Inspired by the intelligence and heart of Mercy Corps staff around the world, Craig Redmond leads the teams responsible for driving impact, influence, and innovation in global programming. He oversees program design and implementation in 40+ countries.
