This holiday and giving season, we are launching a two week giving campaign starting today! We’ll be raising money for Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. We have our very own fundraising page with a goal of $2000 for this two week campaign starting today and going through Dec 14th. We are confident we’ll be able to smash it out of the water. We hope you’ll consider joining us!
Feeding America's mission is to feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger. Through a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs, Feeding America provides meals to more than 40 million people each year.
When you support Feeding America, you are helping their nationwide network of food banks deliver programs at the front line of hunger. Programs like school-based food pantries, emergency disaster relief, and Kids’ Cafe. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment has soared and food insecurity is on the rise. In fact, in 2020 more than 54 million people may face hunger because of coronavirus. Feeding America estimates 1 in every 6 people will face hunger in America, an additional 6.8 million children could face hunger in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic - for a total of 18 million children. Feeding America estimates 1 in every 4 children will face hunger in America.

We all want to do what we can to help others, and this is a small way we can give back. Every dollar counts. We encourage you to give what you can. Giving $1 helps provide 11 meals to kids, families, and individuals facing hunger and makes a difference in the fight to end hunger. 98% of all donations raised for Feeding America go directly into programs serving our neighbors in the U.S.
Help us raise $2000 to meet our goal for Feeding America. Please click here to donate on our fundraising page. We also encourage you to include your friends and family. Everything (including giving!) is much more fun when we share it with the people we love. Let’s see what we can do together as a community!
