Dear Lucas,
I'm writing to share some fantastic news: this week we reached a No Kid Hungry campaign milestone of 500,000 pledge takers! That's half a million people, including YOU, committed to ending childhood hunger in America.
To celebrate this moment, and to show the power of our movement, I'm asking you to donate today in honor of the 1 in 5 kids facing hunger in America. Whether you donate $1 or $100, let's show what we can do when we stand 500,000 strong.
Imagine if each and every one of our 500,000 supporters contributed today to help us feed more kids. Together we could reach more kids with school breakfast, help after school and summer meals expand their reach, and ensure that even more families learn to cook healthy meals at home.
Reaching this critical number is a big deal to all of us on the campaign because we cannot do this work alone. Our community of amazing pledge takers is playing a huge role in the campaign — together, you've taken more than 1,000,000 actions to feed hungry kids, including:
- Helping connect significantly more kids to school breakfast programs,
- Flooding Congress and local leaders with emails and calls to protect child nutrition programs
- And sending thousands of letters to the editors of newspapers across the country
We're making childhood hunger a national priority and we could not do it without you. Please help us mark this important moment for America's kids by making a donation in their honor. When you do, you'll help reach even more kids with meals they so desperately need in the last 10 weeks of 2013 and throughout next year.
I've never been more hopeful or felt more certain that we can end childhood hunger. Thank you for standing with us.
With sincere gratitude,
Billy Shore
Founder and CEO
