Welcome to the global day of giving!

 

Make an Incredible Impact this Giving Tuesday!

During the holiday season, even just buying a few gifts or preparing a meal make the problems even more pronounced for those already dealing with hunger. With 47.4 million Americans facing food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children, these times demand even more support than ever before. We believe in the power of collective generosity. Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving, celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. This year, we turn every $1 you donate into $60 worth of food. Yes, you read that right. A gift of $1,000 provides 15,000 meals. Now that is IMPACT.

We aren't alone in this endeavor. Thanks to an anonymous donor, this year all your Giving Tuesday donations are Doubled, up to $150,000.
