COVID-19
It’s a chaotic and stressful time. Our neighbors are in need of food and essentials to help them make it through the current crisis. Please give your most generous gift to help those who are struggling today.
Feed the Children is taking action to ensure our neighbors aren't forgotten. We’re supplying our community partners (like food pantries and soup kitchens) with the bulk items they need to help people. Our trucks are moving across the U.S. to bring support to families who need it. And we expect our work to increase during this time of crisis.
We’re working every day with our community and corporate partners to ensure that no child goes to bed hungry. Whether it’s through door-to-door home delivery, or drive-through pick-up of food, water, and essentials, our community partners are finding new and effective ways to make sure that families get what they need. For more information on our initial response, read more here.
Here are the latest updates on our work:
- We’re working with community partners coast-to-coast to make sure food and essentials get into the hands of families who need it most. Whether it’s home deliveries to the elderly or door-to-door meals for students, we are dedicated to supplying our community partners with the resources families need.
- Through donations from corporate partners such as The NASCAR Foundation, StarKist, Teleperformance, Herbalife Nutrition, Tyson Foods, Niagara Bottling, KIND Snacks, Clif Bar& Company, Americold, Avon, Office Depot, Fab Fit Fun, Mattel, Elmhurst Milked and Frito-Lay, we are able to keep trucks rolling down the highway to serve our communities.
- Overseas, Feed the Children is focused on community safety. We demonstrate and model good public health behaviors, encourage good handwashing, and equip community leaders with sanitation practices and educational resources. Hygiene kits and meals will be distributed as needed.
- Feed the Children’s partnership with City Care OKC continues to support those in need. Through this partnership, City Care OKC has distributed over 5,000 books to their students, along with food.
- Feed the Children has delivered 104 cases of ready meals to the Joseph Project Mobile Food Pantry in Western New York, for distribution to those in need.
- In Honduras, Feed the Children has mobilized to ensure that quarantined families have enough to eat. We have donated over 28,000 pounds of fortified rice and sardines, which were delivered to over 2,000 families.
In times of crisis, we’re here for those who need support. We’re working hard to put food in the hands of folks who are hurting right now. And we need your help to provide for children and families whose lives have been turned upside down.
Please consider taking a moment to make a donation today. We know that the situation is tough for everyone, and it’s going to get tougher. That’s why this is the time to extend compassion to our friends, our neighbors, and our communities. Let’s unite, today, to feed the children.
Will you give today to keep food on the table for a struggling family?
