John,

Gaining access to three meals a day at school is life-changing for a child who isn’t getting enough to eat at home. These meals help children grow stronger, focus on learning and get along with friends and classmates.

Every time you support our work, you’re helping make this difference possible for more kids. And today, your gift can go TWICE AS FAR thanks to our back-to-school MATCH offer from the Brighter Futures Fund.

As students get ready for a new school year, will you please make your first gift now and have it DOUBLED to help kids access three nutritious meals a day?

When kids aren’t getting enough to eat, it’s hard to imagine how much it can affect every aspect of their lives. They might not even realize how it's affecting them.

But a child who does have access to nutritious meals can certainly feel the difference at school. Fourth-grader Serenity says, “Food helps me learn because food keeps me energized. It keeps me alive in the day. Always gonna need some food before I learn!”

Right now, the need to help kids like Serenity access breakfast, lunch and after-school meals is greater than ever. That’s because there are millions of kids like her counting on school meals after the long, hungry summer — and the recent cuts to SNAP are making it harder for millions of families to feed their kids at home.

That’s why we are counting on you to take advantage of our special MATCH offer from the Brighter Futures Fund to DOUBLE your gift — all to help us reach our $25,000 back-to-school goal for kids. Please, John: Give $25 or more now that will go TWICE AS FAR to help provide nutritious meals to kids and end childhood hunger.
