Story
Hey Warriors! During this time, especially, it's time we join in the fight against hunger! Now's the time to show your Warrior spirit, leadership and character by engaging with your community to help feed those in need. Meals from the Heartland has been feeding hungry children in Iowa and across 37 countries since 2008 with a goal to package 20 million meals this year! 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 at mealsfromtheheartland.org.
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. The funds you raise will go towards purchasing ingredients (soy, rice, vegetables and vitamins) to be packaged into nutritious, life-saving meals to feed starving children in Iowa, across the U.S., and around the world. Although, this campaign is being projected through the high school, we hope that you can share this page, with friends and family EVERYWHERE to help us raise money for those in need. This fundraiser will go through the end of November and the top three students who raised the most money will receive their prizes December 5th! Thank you Warriors!
