As you may or may not know I am growing our family web hosting business, Ovaleye, in 2010 and in doing so am active in Young Female Entrepreneurs, an organization of other professional, young women like myself. As a group we have decided that we are getting involved with Hopelink’s ‘End Summer Hunger’ campaign and I want to invite you to join us in our fundraising.
End Summer Hunger is Hopelink’s grassroots campaign that gathers support from local businesses, organizations, schools, and individuals to help provide food for low-income families with kids who normally receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Funds raised will go toward the purchase of food which is distributed June through September at Hopelink’s five food banks in north and east King County, as well as towards homelessness prevention programs.
This school year 14,000 homeless and low-income students count on free and reduced meals in the Bellevue, Lake Washington, Northshore & other Eastside schools. Where will they turn this Summer?
Did you know?
- Your cash donation can be leveraged to buy much more food than the average consumer for the same dollar amount.
- Summer is a time when donations typically subside.
- In some districts more than 20% of students receive free and reduced meals in their schools.
- The End Summer Hunger campaign makes sure that families do not have to choose between paying for rent, childcare and food.
By donating what you can, we can help provide healthy meals for students in need this summer. Join us in making a tax deductible donation online today!
Thank you for helping us raise money for a cause that is close to home!
Best,
