Dear Friend,
Ending childhood hunger is our #1 priority. Why? Because we know how much our nation's kids are struggling. More importantly, we know how much your support can change their stories.
Hopefully you and your family don't have to worry about hunger, but I suspect you would help if you knew someone that did. That is why I'm writing to introduce you to Sophie and invite you to walk in her shoes for a day.

8:15 a.m.
Sophie's mom relies on public transit, and today Sophie couldn't get to school early enough to receive breakfast in the cafeteria. Without a nutritious dinner last night and a breakfast to fuel her, she starts the day hungry, distracted from her school work and classmates.

Sophie begins to feel the pangs of hunger intensifying, feels frustrated and struggles to concentrate on her math assignment. In short, she's falling behind.
11:30 a.m.
Lunch is served. Sophie is grateful to eat a balanced meal with her friends in the cafeteria. But she's gone too long without nourishment and feels sluggish for the rest of the day.
6:00 p.m.
At home, the problem continues. It's the end of the month and food is scarce at Sophie's house. With a limited budget, Sophie's mom relies on cheaper processed foods — not knowing that there are affordable, healthy options to provide the full nourishment that Sophie needs. Her struggle with hunger continues.
This cycle is all too real for kids like Sophie. That is why we're hard at work on solutions like expanding school breakfast programs, teaching families how to shop for and cook healthy meals on a budget, and connecting kids to summer meals programs. But we need you in order to make sure we're connecting hungry kids with meals every day.
Our monthly donors provide steady support that allows us to connect kids with meals all year long. That is why we need generous donors like you to join our monthly giving club, The Hunger Core, with a gift of $10 per month. Your support is critical to ensuring that we can help hungry kids learn, grow and thrive.
Making a monthly gift to No Kid Hungry is fast and easy — and you can cancel or adjust the amount at any time.
Let's protect kids like Sophie, so they don't have to experience hunger. Please join The Hunger Core today.

P.S. With 500 new members of The Hunger Core, we can get closer to ensuring that every child has the kind of day they deserve. Please help us reach our goal.
