Subject: [2x match] Your donation's power today

Andy, Giving Tuesday is here! Today is a special day when people from all over the world give back and support the causes that matter most to them. After the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving preparations and holiday sales, it’s a chance to use the power of community and generosity to make our world a better place.

And that means it’s an amazing opportunity for you to help end hunger right here at home. Right now, your first gift can be DOUBLED thanks to matching funds from a generous group of donors that will help meet our goal to raise $100,000 by midnight! Make your first gift today and it can be matched to provide 2x the meals for your neighbors facing hunger in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Your donation today can provide:

2x the holiday meals for our neighbors across Minnesota and western Wisconsin     2x the freshly made, nutritious meals through Kitchen Coalition     2x the specially tailored meal boxes for people with chronic conditions through the FOODRx program

During the holidays and year-round, giving back is such an incredible way to show your neighbors you care—neighbors like Jodi. She and her husband, a disabled veteran, had trouble making ends meet after moving to St. Peter a few years ago. Jodi had utilized food shelves before when her kids were young. “It was how we survived. It was how my family ate.”

She remembered being treated with kindness, so she felt comfortable reaching out again to Second Harvest Heartland partner St. Peter Area Food Shelf. Wanting to give back, she started volunteering in addition to visiting as a shopper. Jodi did not expect it to eventually turn into a job offer. A year later, she is thriving.

“I can't say enough about this place. I don't think there's anything more fulfilling than making sure that your neighbors are not just eating, but eating healthy, good food.” -Jodi, St. Peter

Don’t miss this chance to have your impact DOUBLED and join together with your community to show up for our neighbors on this special day of giving back. Help get food to your neighbors this winter and beyond with a Giving Tuesday gift now!

Sincerely,

Sarah Moberg
