Dear Lucas,
In New York, there are 1,210,000 kids who are facing hunger.
We've got a challenge this holiday, and with it, a chance to connect kids to an additional 10 million meals in 2014.
Your gift will mean a lot to kids like 5-year-old Quinton.
Quinton is a bright kid who loves football and going to school. He lives with his grandmother. She relies on nutrition assistance programs to provide Quinton with the food he needs to grow, learn and thrive in school. But cuts to programs earlier this year will result in 360 fewer meals for the family next year. The No Kid Hungry campaign is working hard to fill in those gaps and make sure that the meals are there for kids like Quinton.
When you make a tax-deductible gift this holiday season during the No Kid Hungry Holiday Challenge, you are making sure kids like Quinton are connected to meals not just during the holiday season, but all year long. The No Kid Hungry campaign works to connect hungry kids to existing programs at school, at home and during the summer months.
And because of cuts to federal nutrition programs, 2014 will be even harder for kids like Quinton. This is why your support today is so critical.
Please give as much as you can and help us reach our 10 million meal challenge this month. And because every $10 helps us connect kids to 100 meals, every donation counts. No gift is too small.
Thanks for all that you do to end childhood hunger.
Sincerely,
Billy Shore
President & CEO
