Hi Friend,

How are you? I realize that Thanksgiving was different for most of us this year, and tough for those who chose to cancel travel and other special traditions. Despite the circumstances, we had a very nice day (even got in our two walks thanks to a simplified dinner menu!) and focused on the many things for which we are grateful. One of those is that we've always had enough to eat. Moreover, access to healthy food and the means to provide it to our family.

Fighting hunger is a cause that I care about deeply. Last week, I contributed to a friend's #givehealthy food drive for New Yorkers, which inspired me to create a national drive for our community through Feeding America. Their mission is "to provide the most nutritious food possible to improve people’s health and well-being.” And although perishable food can be a challenge for many food banks, I appreciate that Feeding America has several initiatives to get fresh produce to hungry people and provide resources to promote healthy eating and healthy communities.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, they estimate that 54 million people may face hunger in the U.S. during 2020 — including more than 17 million children. But we can help.  No donation is too small and I thank you from the bottom of my heart if you’re able to chip in.
