Special MATCH offer for you

Did you see my email? Your gift will be matched! Dear Friend, I wanted to reach out to make sure you saw my special offer to [match your gift to Bread for the World up to $500,000!]( That means your gift will have 2x the impact as we work together to end hunger. If you make a donation of $100 or more today, you may also request a special thank you gift. These items make great gifts for the people in your life who love to travel or dream about traveling. They include my European Christmas gift set, my six hour TV series Rick Steves' Art of Europe DVD + Europe planning map, or Bread for the World’s new We Can End Hunger mug. I support Bread because they take my concern about hunger and transform it into effective action by smartly — and doggedly — urging Congress to fight hunger. [For me, Bread is not a charity, it’s a service. It’s a smart and practical investment that shapes government policy, and that improves the lives of millions of people.]( That’s why I hope you’ll join me in supporting Bread with your own gift today. [Please make a gift to Bread today — I’ll match your gift, doubling your impact!]( Thank you, Rick Steves Travel writer and Bread for the World Member --------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friend, For years, I’ve worked with Bread for the World members like you to help end hunger by matching donations during the holiday season. With the help of your generosity and my traveling friends at Rick Steves’ Europe, we raise more than $1,000,000 for Bread each Christmas. This year, our mission has taken on added urgency because of high global food prices, inflation, violent conflict, and record-long droughts putting millions of people on the brink of famine. But together, you and I can urge our nation’s decision makers to address the growing hunger crisis and change the policies that allow hunger and poverty to persist. [That’s why I’m asking you to make your year-end gift to Bread for the World today. I’ll match your gift dollar for dollar — doubling your impact up to $500,000.]( And if you donate $100 or more, you can select a special thank you gift. For me, Bread is not a charity, it’s a service. It’s a smart and practical investment that shapes government policy, and that improves the lives of millions of people. Bread takes my concern about hunger and transforms it into effective action by smartly — and doggedly — urging Congress to fight hunger. And advocacy works. Thanks to you and other Bread members, Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress have backed Bread for the World’s efforts to strengthen food assistance. If we can persuade the rest of Congress to follow these leaders and reauthorize the Farm Bill, more emergency aid — including the important Food for Peace program — can be rushed places where hunger and malnutrition are threatening so many lives. In the weeks and months ahead, Congress will take action on many funding and policy measures that can — with Bread’s advocacy — effectively tackle extreme poverty. Supporting Bread is the most effective way I know to leverage my giving to provide hope and opportunity to people struggling with hunger. [So, here’s my challenge to you: Make a special year-end gift to Bread now and I will match your gift dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity.]( When you donate $100 or more, you can also choose a fun extra (perhaps perfect for the traveler on your gift list): - The Rick Steves' European Christmas gift package OR - NEW Rick Steves' Art of Europe DVD and Europe planning map OR - NEW Bread for the World’s We Can End Hunger Mug If you can give $250 or more you can choose to receive all 3 thank-you gifts. Make your gift by Dec. 5 — and you’ll get everything in time for Christmas. Your gift will empower Bread for the World in its work to urge Congress to do its part to fight hunger. Working together, we can make a big difference this Christmas. [Please give today.]( Thank you, Rick Steves Travel Writer and Bread for the World Member P.S. You can also start a new monthly gift of $20 per month or more, I'll match it with my own $100 gift and you can choose one of the thank-you gifts above. ©2023 Bread for the World 425 3rd Street SW, Suite 1200 | Washington, DC 20024 | USA Tel.
