Dear Lucas,
We're relentlessly focused on results, measuring our progress toward making No Kid Hungry a reality. And that's why I'm so excited to share some news with you:
The No Kid Hungry campaign has helped bring more than 34 million additional meals to kids who need them since summer 2011.
34 million meals means more kids getting breakfast before school starts, and meals in the summer when school is out. Thanks to you, we're making an enormous impact for kids facing hunger.
We're reaching kids like Adrianne and Amber, sisters from New Mexico, who know their Dad is working hard but also know they don't have enough money for food once utilities and house payments are made. They greatly depend on school breakfast and summer meals throughout the year.
And kids like 2 year old, Teagan, whose father served two tours in Afghanistan and has faced hard times since returning. Their family needs the programs supported by No Kid Hungry to keep healthy food on the table so Teagan can grow and thrive. Today, I'm asking you to help more kids who don't have enough to eat by joining The Hunger Core, Share Our Strength's monthly giving club.
While we're excited that we've hit the 34 million meals milestone, we're equally excited that we've found ways to replicate our success, so that we're able to bring solutions to end childhood hunger to every community across the nation. Doing so, however, will require your support.
Your monthly gift of $20 can make a huge difference. Every dollar can provide up to 10 meals — and $20 means 2,400 throughout the year!
Please join The Hunger Core today. And when you join, we'll send you a limited edition No Kid Hungry reusable lunch bag to show our appreciation for your generous support. Every time you use it, you'll be reminded of your steadfast commitment to help hungry children get the food they need all year long.
I hope you'll consider joining The Hunger Core and helping families and children who struggle with hunger.
Sincerely,
Billy Shore
Founder and CEO
P.S. We need to reach our goal of 500 new Hunger Core members by April 30. Please join The Hunger Core today and you'll receive the No Kid Hungry reusable lunch bag!
