Around the world, millions of impoverished children and families are desperate for food. They are victims of war, disease, natural disaster, and famine.

It’s happening in Burundi, where a staggering 53 percent of children under age 5 suffer from stunting due to malnutrition.

It’s happening in Haiti, where nearly half the population doesn’t have enough to eat.

It’s happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which continues to suffer one of the largest hunger crises in the world.

In fact, 55 countries currently struggle to meet their populations’ basic food requirements. Over the past five years, the number of people around the world who are experiencing a food crisis has reached its highest level.

Your support of our Annual Food Distribution Appeal is nothing short of miraculous. Not only does every dollar you send provide $20 worth of food—you also literally help us save lives.

This year, more than ever, this appeal is critical. We are already making a difference in Burundi, Haiti and the DRC; and by giving just a few dollars today, you can help us feed even more hungry children and families around the world.

Thanks to our ongoing partnerships with international relief organizations—and our long-standing, trusted presence in more than 130 countries—we are ready and able to prepare and serve life-saving meals to those who need it most. We just need your help to transport it from the shipping docks to our mission locations.

Every dollar makes an immediate difference.

What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than by providing nourishing food to the hungry?
