Dear Friend,

Today, on GivingTuesday, we invite you to stand with families, communities, and entire neighborhoods facing food insecurity across the country.

At Hunger Free America, we believe access to nutritious food is a basic human right. And while recent SNAP restorations have provided relief for many families, hunger is still here. High costs, wage gaps, rising rents, childcare expenses, and ongoing cuts to nutrition programs in several states continue to push millions of Americans to the brink.

SNAP helps—enormously—but families are still struggling. That’s why Hunger Free America continues to expand outreach, strengthen federal programs, and fight for policies that ensure no one has to navigate hunger alone.

Just Why HFA’s Work Matters—and How Your Support Helps

• We address root causes, not just symptoms. We advocate for long-term solutions like wage increases, expanded program eligibility, and policy reforms that support working families.

• We guide families through complex systems. Our multilingual team has helped more than 50,000 people enroll in SNAP, WIC, and other vital supports since 2020—unlocking over $100 million in food benefits they were already eligible for.

• We connect people to resources fast. Our national database of nearly 50,000 food pantries, soup kitchens, WIC clinics, and meal sites helps individuals and families find nearby assistance quickly and with dignity.

• We build capacity nationwide. Through our AmeriCorps VISTA program, we place members in grassroots organizations across the country—expanding outreach, strengthening programs, and increasing access to nutritious food.

• We fight for systems change. When federal support is at risk or benefits fall short, we push back with data-driven advocacy to protect and strengthen SNAP, WIC, and other critical safety nets.

  
  

But we cannot continue this work without committed supporters like you.

GivingTuesday Impact—What Your Gift Supports

$50 Supports outreach that connects families to SNAP/WIC and other nutrition assistance programs.

$100 Helps sustain our hotline and national database—essential tools for people needing immediate access to food resources.

$250 Fuels advocacy and research needed to protect federal benefits and fight back against harmful cuts.

$500 Strengthens long-term, systemic solutions that make food access more equitable nationwide.

Your gift doesn’t “fix” hunger—but it builds momentum, strengthens the safety net, and expands access for people who deserve support.

Stand With Us This GivingTuesday

Even with SNAP benefits restored, the need remains urgent. Families are still choosing between groceries and rent. Seniors are skipping meals. Parents are stretching food across multiple days.

Your GivingTuesday gift ensures they don’t have to face these choices alone.

Every act of generosity helps us fight for long-term food justice and support families nationwide.

If you can’t give today, you can still help:

• Post about our work on social media

• Share this email with others who care

• Volunteer your time

• Stay subscribed for alerts about advocacy opportunities

Thank you for standing with us—today and every day. Together, we are pushing toward a future where every family has consistent access to nutritious food.
