John,

Did you know that 1 in 5 kids across the country might go to bed hungry tonight? And did you know that when schools close for the summer, 87% of kids will lose crucial access to the meals they typically eat at school?

Today, during No Kid Hungry’s Giving Day, you have the opportunity to make TWICE the impact toward kicking off our summer hunger relief efforts. That’s because your gift today will be DOUBLED, up to $250,000, thanks to the Arby’s Foundation.

But this match opportunity ends tomorrow at midnight, so please don’t wait to take advantage of it and help us provide hundreds of thousands of meals for kids who need them. Please, make your first gift today — while every dollar is being DOUBLED toward ending childhood hunger. To recognize your generosity at this important moment, you’ll receive a special No Kid Hungry Supporter Certificate after you make a gift.

One person your gift today can help is Patrick, a father of three in Ohio. He was building a career in acupuncture when a medical condition made it impossible to continue. With bills piling up and three kids to feed, Patrick made a bold decision to go back to school while parenting full time during the day.

His family relies on SNAP to stay afloat. And at times, when food was tight, Patrick skipped meals so his kids could eat:

“Without SNAP, I would skip meals pretty consistently. The food was for them,” he said. “[Now, my kids are] not going hungry. … And my 3-year-old is big enough to open up the fridge now and get whatever he wants out of it, and it actually is there. So that’s a very nice feeling.”

Your gift helps fuel programs that ensure families like Patrick’s can keep food in the fridge while also supporting school meals, summer meals sites and advocacy to protect programs like SNAP. And today, every dollar of your first gift will go twice as far to support that work.

Make a 2X-Matched Gift Now

As a special thank you, when you give before tomorrow at midnight, you’ll also receive an official No Kid Hungry digital certificate of recognition as a symbol of your commitment to ending childhood hunger.

We’re counting on you, John. Help us reach our $250,000 Giving Day goal to make a real difference for children across the country this summer and all year long. Please don’t wait: Make your first gift to DOUBLE your impact now for kids facing hunger.

With gratitude,

Diego Alonso
