FW: Empty shelves = Empty stomachs

Dear Friend, The need for donations during the summertime is urgent, and we want to make sure that families struggling with hunger across the country have access to food all year long. Especially with the recent nationwide drought that's affecting fresh produce harvests, can you help us stock the shelves at our member food banks this summer? Please take a moment to read the message below and make a gift today. And remember, thanks to a special matching challenge grant from the Kraft Foods Foundation every $1 you donate will help provide 16 meals to families in need. Sincerely, Vicki Escarra President & CEO Feeding America --------------------------------------------------- From: Vicki Escarra-Feeding America, President and CEO Sent: August 8, 2012 Subject: Empty shelves = Empty stomachs Can't view this message? Read it online Dear Friend, Summer is supposed to be a time of fun, of playing at the park or the pool and heading out on family vacations. But for too many children and their families, hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation. Please donate to help feed families struggling with hunger this summer and it will have twice the impact thanks to a matching challenge grant from the Kraft Foods Foundation. These months are also particularly difficult for Feeding America’s member food banks. As a result of both food and financial donations dropping during the summer, and the recent nationwide drought, the need is as great as ever. Help us stock our shelves so we can make sure families across the country get the food they need now, and all year long. Donate today! Usually every $1 you give helps provide 8 meals for families fighting hunger, but thanks to the Kraft Foods Foundation and their matching challenge grant every $1 will help provide 16 meals! Your gift means a lot to families who shouldn’t have to spend their summer worrying about putting food on the table. Help us stock the shelves today.
