The Friendly Food Fighters are a group of kids from New Jersey who are trying to raise money and food in order to help those who are in need of basic necessities as a result of Covid-19. By getting funds and food from people in our community we will be able to help our local Somerset County Food Bank. We have done our fair share of research on this food bank to know that they will be able to help during this difficult time. The Somerset County Food Bank is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help as many as possible. They are able to receive all types of food, money and everyday resources.
Covid-19 is an unexpected pandemic that has affected many lives. People are struggling to earn money and afford simple things like food. By donating money, a meal can be bought for many suffering. This meal can make them feel comfortable and also let them know that we are with them through this crisis. Even though some people are lucky enough to be given $1,200 from the government, this is just not enough. This money can only last for a week to a month, because people still have to pay for rent and other necessities.
We are humbly requesting a simple donation. “Why us?” you may be asking. Well, we aren’t saying you need to donate to us, we're just saying you can donate to somebody. Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief association, recently projected that 17.1 million people will not have enough food for their daily lives, this is a 46% increase to their usual run rate. That means Feeding America needs 1.4 billion dollars to supply food to those 17.1 million people for 6 months. With this, we can overcome some of the challenges of COVID-19. Please help us donate to this cause. You can contact us at [phone redacted] or [phone redacted].
We will take these foods and give them to the food bank we are working with. Imagine if this was somebody you know, or even you!
Don’t be a bystander, be an upstander. Every act of kindness helps.
