Dear friend,
With good nutritious food every day, children have a chance to concentrate in school, to grow up strong, to be anything they want to be. Sadly, an estimated 50,000 children in Southern Arizona are at risk for hunger.
Everyone should grow up with a chance to succeed. That’s why we have a multifaceted approach to erasing child hunger. We address hunger from infancy to adulthood through numerous programs that fill in the gaps where schools, food stamps and other assistance programs leave off. Here are a few examples:

• A back pack full of child-friendly food for
  weekends during the school year;
• After-school nutrition programs with snacks and
  education;
• Sites where children can find healthy meals during
  the summer, when school programs aren’t available;
• Supplemental food for families in crisis.

You can do more than you think for the children of Southern Arizona. Just $39 sponsors a child for two weeks of after-school and weekend programs. Please give generously.
Children in our community need your help.
Sincerely,
William Carnegie
President and CEO
