Feeding America Weekend hunger is just days away. |

With the largest cuts to SNAP in history now passed, food will soon be further out of reach for millions of people—including kids. Many of them rely on the meals they receive at school during the week—but over the weekend, food banks and meal programs are needed to help fill the gaps.

With millions of kids already back in school and more on their way back soon, the stakes of weekend hunger are growing fast. All kids deserve to return to school nourished, safe, and thriving—no matter the challenges. Please, be one of the 1,000 donors we need to make a gift before midnight on Friday.

Like over 20 million other kids in the U.S., 7-year-old Jaden enjoys free breakfast and lunch at his school. Over the weekend, though, when Jaden doesn't have access to these free meals, it can be difficult for his family to get enough food on the table. "Everything now is expensive," Jaden's mother, Maria, says.

So, Maria visits a local food distribution to help make sure she and her family have the food they need to thrive. The food they get "helps so much," Maria says. She loves to cook food for her family—Jaden especially likes when she makes pasta.

"I like eating with my family," Jaden says.

Kids like Jaden shouldn't be thinking about where their next meal will come from. Make a $25 gift before the weekend and help get meals to kids and their families, this weekend and beyond.

With gratitude,

Feeding America
