The need to feed starving children is even greater now during the COVID-19 crisis. Due to the pandemic, experts estimate the number of children going hungry could quadruple. Please help us raise money and awareness by entering our fundraising competition. Prizes will be awarded to the top three students that raise the most money! Feel free to check out Meals for the Heartland and learn more about the organization! (link to our website here)This year has been difficult for all of us. But the level of uncertainty does not just stop at "what will schooling look like this year" for some. Due to the pandemic, The World Bank estimates that global poverty is projected to increase for the first time in 22 years from 40 million to 60 million! Every $.20 buys a meal for one hungry child and $52 feeds one child for an entire year. Just in Iowa alone, 1 in 7 kids do not have enough to eat. So, this month it is our hope that your donations can impact and help those in desperate need.
