Feeding America & How You Can Help
Setting The Table
I’m hoping to bring more to the table than just my artwork!
I am setting the table for a hunger-free America. Over 40-million people are served each year through the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks, and I want to help. Donations have dropped drastically over the past month, so I am donating 10% of each sold painting in my upcoming collection, The Dinner Party Series, to Feeding America. I am striving to raise a minimum of $1,000 through this series release as well as through additional public donations. I have started this fundraiser to allow children, families, and seniors to sit down at the table and share a meal with one another.
One statistic that struck me was 1 in 7 children do not have access to nutritious food, millions of which rely on free or reduced-priced lunches and are no longer receiving them due to COVID-19. Every one dollar can provide at least 10 meals to families in need through the Feeding America network food banks. If we can meet the $1,000 goal, then that means we will have provided over 10,000 meals!
If finances are tough (as I know they are for many ), you can donate your time, which is just as impactful (51% of all food programs rely on volunteers!). You can learn more about local volunteer opportunities in your area here. If you plan to purchase a painting (thank you in advance!), I’ll be be donating the proceeds at the end of the launch and will post a receipt of the final total on my Instagram stories and on this page. If you are wanting to donate additionally, you can support my efforts to end hunger by clicking here to donate. Together we can Set the Table™ for a hunger-free America. Thanks in advance for your support!
