Dear Lucas,
Hunger hurts our nation's kids, which is why our mission is to put an end to childhood hunger in the US for good. We believe that No Kid Hungry starts with breakfast and our vision is coming to life in schools all over the country. By joining our monthly giving club today, you will help grow the momentum of this movement connecting hungry kids to meals, especially school breakfast, in every state.
With your help, we've advocated for breakthrough policy changes that have increased the number of kids starting the day with school breakfast. Across the nation, we're seeing results, and other states and cities are following our lead. Just look at these recent wins in the movement to end childhood hunger:
- More than 900 schools took part in the North Carolina's first breakfast challenge to encourage schools to serve more kids breakfast.
- In New Mexico, recently passed legislation will ensure that kids of all ages across the state can count on a free, healthy breakfast as part of the school day.
- New Orleans has become one of an elite group of U.S. cities to reach our ambitious goals for breakfast participation.
- Recently introduced legislation in Nebraska could make a healthy breakfast after the bell a reality for children across the state.
- Vermont will become the first state to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students.
Together we have started a movement across the country and we can't stop now. There is more work to be done, which is why it's a great time to join our monthly giving club, The Hunger Core, with a gift of $20 per month.
By committing to a small amount each month, you'll help us make sure kids get the food they need all year long. Every dollar you give can provide up to 10 meals — so $20 a month means up to 2,400 meals a year.
Monthly giving is safe, easy and economical. Your credit card will be automatically debited for any amount you choose — and you can change the amount or cancel at any time.
Thanks to donors like you, more kids are getting the food they need, but feeding kids is a year-long commitment for us. We need to make sure kids get breakfast before class and more meals during the summer when school is out, and more families gain the skills to cook and shop on a budget. Here's your chance to help every day of the year with a monthly gift of $20, which can provide up to 2,400 meals all year long for kids in need.
I hope you'll become a Hunger Core member today, Lucas, and help us feed even more kids in the year ahead. I'm grateful for your support of No Kid Hungry.
