“I can’t thank you enough for the incredible generosity you showed with your gift to Feeding America today. The donation you just made will help us to provide 120000 meals to families in need.
I hope that makes you feel proud. It should!
Every year the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks provides support to 40 million Americans who are battling hunger, a tremendous feat that is only possible because of the compassion and financial backing we receive from people like you.
And I’m not the only one who wants to thank you! The people we serve around the country also recorded a message that they asked me to share. I think you’ll find it heart-warming and encourage you to take a moment to watch it.“
“One quick request: please share your support for Feeding America on Facebook and Twitter! It’s an easy way to quickly multiply the impact of your generosity. In fact, one of the most popularly cited reasons to give to a charity or cause is because your friends and family support that cause.
Once again, please accept my deepest gratitude, on behalf of all those who will find both sustenance and hope from your gift.“
As always, Day Trade For Good is thankful for the chance to help others less fortunate than ourselves. We look forward to any and all future opportunities to help!

In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it’s almost shocking that anyone in America goes hungry. Yet every day, there are millions of children and adults who do not get the meals they need to thrive. We work to get nourishing food – from farmers, manufacturers, and retailers – to people in need. At the same time, we also seek to help the people we serve to build a path to a brighter, food-secure future.
For more than 40 years, Feeding America has responded to the needs of individuals struggling with food insecurity in this country. In times of uncertainty, we have not wavered from our mission to end the fight against hunger.
When you support Feeding America, you are helping our nationwide network of food banks deliver programs at the front line of hunger. Programs like school-based food pantries, emergency disaster relief, and Kids’ Cafe.
When people face hunger, they often struggle to meet other basic needs as well — such as housing, employment and healthcare. That’s why Feeding America is committed to more than providing food for people in need.
Though the economy is improving since the Great Recession, many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet. Currently, 37 million in the U.S. face hunger — a crisis in which underemployment, stagnant wages and rising costs of living are all playing a role.
That means for many of our neighbors, putting food on the table remains a daily struggle.
We recognize that hunger is a complex issue. When people face hunger, they often struggle to meet other basic needs as well — such as housing, employment, and healthcare. That’s why Feeding America is committed to more than providing food for people in need. We also want to make progress toward ending hunger for good. To do this, Feeding America aims to meet people’s needs holistically by partnering with other organizations that address everything from homelessness to health care. Together, we can find the most innovative ways to help the people we serve and achieve a hunger-free America.
Federal and state food assistance is critical to ending hunger. Feeding America works hard to protect and promote government programs that help families facing hunger meet their basic nutritional needs. With your help, we can:

Food banks in the Feeding America network anticipate and adjust to the needs of the communities they serve. Distributing food to children, seniors and families in need is their first priority, but Feeding America member food banks also offer:
The Mobile Pantry Program directly serves clients in areas of high need in an effort to supplement other hunger-relief agencies in that area. Through a Mobile Pantry, a truckload of food is distributed to clients in pre-packed boxes or through a farmers market-style distribution where clients choose to take what they need.
The Mobile Pantry Program expands the capacity of the Feeding America network to make food more accessible in underserved communities where people with limited financial resources may not be able to access food through traditional grocery stores or food pantries. This allows food banks to provide rescued food and grocery products – including meat, produce, and baked goods – to people more quickly and flexibly.

When disaster strikes, Feeding America is on the ground and ready to provide food assistance and emergency supplies. Our extensive network of food banks reaches every county in every corner of our nation- making us uniquely prepared to respond in the event of a disaster.
Ready to help with disaster food assistance?
Preparedness:
The Feeding America network positions emergency food supplies throughout the country to distribute quickly in the event of a disaster. We also establish and strengthen partnerships that provide access to equipment and supplies when needed. Through our day-to-day hunger-relief operations, we help low-income and at-risk populations who are disproportionately impacted by natural disasters.
Response:
During a disaster, Feeding America leverages our nationwide network—including 10 million square feet of warehouse space and 2,400 trucks that are used every day to bring food to people in need. These logistical solutions are repurposed for disaster relief when needed and are vital to delivering food, water, and supplies.
Recovery:
Feeding America remains rooted in communities long after other disaster organizations have moved on. Our member food banks are major contributors to long-term disaster recovery efforts.
During the school year, 22 million children receive free or reduced-price school meals through the National School Lunch Program. When school is out during the summer, only 1 in 6 kids still have access to those meals through the USDA Summer Food Service Program.
Food banks, community centers, park districts, schools, and other organizations are working together to make sure kids and teens still have the meals they need during the summer.
Summer food service programs, also called summer meal programs or summer lunch programs, are free meal sites that help kids and teens up to 18 years of age when school is out in June, July, and August. The free meals are offered at safe, supervised places in your community like churches, schools, libraries, and community centers.
Kids and teens can just show up during the scheduled meal hours and receive a free meal. Some summer programs provide breakfast and lunch. There may also be summer activities or learning programs available during mealtimes. No paperwork or proof of income is required to receive free breakfast or lunch.
Yes, but to keep our communities safe, there will be some changes at your local meal sites. Some summer meal programs offer:
Check with the summer meal site you want to visit for up-to-date details on how they are helping to keep kids safe during the pandemic.
Summer meal programs can be difficult to find so here are three easy ways to find your nearest free meal site.
Some summer meal programs are funded by the federal government through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Food banks then purchase and deliver these meals to existing youth programs within your community. Last year, the Feeding America network of food banks served almost 7 million meals to more than 220,000 children through the Summer Food Service Program.
Other summer meal programs are operated by local food banks including the Backpack Program and the School Pantry Program through the generous support of individual and corporate donors.
Summer meal programs can be hard to find, and many families don’t know they’re available. The best way to help is by sharing information with your neighbors about how they can get free meals during the summer if they are in need.

Twenty-two million children receive free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program and the National School Breakfast Program. For many of these children, school meals may be the only meals they eat. What happens when they go home over the weekend?
For more than 15 years, the BackPack Program has helped children get enough to eat on the weekends. We now assemble bags at more than 160 local food banks. In addition, we distribute to more than 450,000 children at the end of the week. With your help, we can provide more food to more children in need.
These programs help alleviate child hunger in America by distributing food to children and their families. School Food Pantries provide a more readily accessible source to low-income students and their families. By working with community partners, food banks and school administrators set up on-site food pantries. These increase convenience for students and their families throughout the school year and during school breaks. By locating pantries inside or near schools, students and their families have easier access to food assistance. As a result, they feel more comfortable in accessing this assistance.
The Pantry Program generally distributes fresh fruit and vegetables, easy to open shelf-stable items, a combination of grains, and sometimes protein items such as frozen meats. Schools may also provide a market-style produce distribution of which may operate afterschool, during weekends, and/or during out of school times such as Summer.
Furthermore, children and their families may also receive recipe cards. In addition, on-site cooking demonstrations led by community partners and other additional resources.
“We chose $10 because it is an amount that is easy for people to come up with. At the same time, enough that they feel like they actually want to use the trial. It’s not something that is such a large amount that it’s overwhelming. But it’s not such a small amount that they feel like they don’t have to put any time behind it.
We’re looking for commitment. We’re looking for people who actually want to put effort in so that we can create the best possible scenario with our product and with that customer.
We do $10 for the trial because we want people to experience our product fully before they actually make any larger commitment. The intention there is for them to be able to look behind the curtain without a whole lot of risk and decide if this is actually something they want to take on. We have a lot of people who don’t take it on. A lot of people who say no, and we’re okay with that. Because what we end up with is a customer who’s really interested in using our product to better their life.”
