Dear National Federation of the Blind Hunger Heroes,

Thank you so much for joining us to pack on January 8th, 2025! Your commitment and enthusiasm are truly inspiring, and your support means the world to us.

Thanks to your efforts, we're now feeding over 4,600 children every Friday. Your involvement makes a real and meaningful impact in our community, and together, we’re making a significant difference in the lives of these children.

Please take a moment to look over our 2024 Impact Report <https://conta.cc/48YUg1K> . As you do, we ask you to reflect on the difference we’ve made together and consider how much more we can achieve in 2025 with your continued help. Inside the report, you'll find inspiring statistics about how many children we’ve been able to feed, thanks to your hard work and dedication. ❤️ But it doesn’t stop there! We’ve also included exciting opportunities for you to continue making a difference and help us reach even more children in need.

To continue supporting this critical work, please consider making a donation to The Children's Hunger Project through our website: Donate Here <https://thechildrenshungerproject.org/donate/> .
