Please watch:
If you can, please volunteer or consider an ongoing donation -- now more than ever -- to one of these organizations (or any other in your community providing direct food relief:
Feeding America:
With a network of 200 food banks across the US, this organization is
helping food banks support communities impacted by the pandemic.
GENYOUth: They are providing grants to schools to supply resources for meal distribution and delivery so students can be fed even when they are not at school during the coronavirus crisis.
Meals on Wheels provides home delivery of food to seniors. The organization faces an increased need for volunteers and donations right now as many seniors find themselves more isolated and in need than usual.
Save the Children: Actresses Jennifer Garner and Amy Adams have teamed up with Save the Children to launch #SAVEWITHSTORIES. The program is providing children in America’s poorest communities with nutritious meals, books and other learning resources during the outbreak closures.
United Way: They are using their Covid-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund to stock food banks with essential staples to help feed children who rely on schools for meals.
World Central Kitchen:
Founder Chef José Andrés (who merits a Nobel Peace Prize for what he's
been doing now and in other disasters) is turning the kitchens in some
of his
restaurants into community kitchens offering free to-go lunches for
those in need.
Even a modest donation can make a big difference (for example, $100 to Feeding America provides 1,000 meals).
Thank you!
