48 hours to help get meals to rural communities in hunger crisis

The very same communities that grow the food we eat are facing hunger. | [Feeding America.]( [DONATE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Hunger crisis in rural America. Donate now.]( John in Opelousas, Louisiana America's rural communities grow and harvest the food we eat—they're the backbone of the American food system. But there's a hunger crisis unfolding among our rural neighbors: Today, 9 of the 10 American counties with the highest rates of hunger are rural. Feeding America network food banks are rushing to get enough food to our neighbors in remote and rural communities. [Right now, every dollar you give can help provide 10 meals for someone facing hunger. Please make a $25 donation before the deadline at midnight tomorrow and help rush 500,000 meals to families in rural America and beyond.]( Help get urgently-needed meals to our neighbors in rural communities and beyond. GOAL: $50,000 by midnight tomorrow [DONATE NOW]( Your gift of $25 or more can help make a difference for your neighbors facing hunger. It would mean so much to have you join us today. Our neighbors who live outside of major cities and towns often have to travel long distances to the nearest grocery store. With little public transportation, that means families need a car—and the extra gas money to get to the store. Combined with low wages, underemployment in rural communities and the high cost of groceries, affording enough food can be a challenge for many families. As a result, even though our rural neighbors play a critical role in producing the food we eat, 96% of rural communities receive food distributed by a food bank. Today, I'm asking you to help deliver meals to remote communities and all our neighbors who need them. [Donate $25 now to help us reach our 48-hour $50,000 goal by midnight tomorrow and help rush 500,000 meals to families in rural America and beyond.]( For your support of our neighbors near and far, thank you.
