From the Desk of: Ann LeBlanc, President and CoFounder

I prepared a special message for you with details on our summer program that is reaching disadvantaged children across this nation. Click on the image below to view:

Mercy Chefs is distributing 180,000 meals this summer to children through special programs and our community kitchen outreaches. Our "Summer Huddle" program has partnered with professional athletes in cities across the nation to provide children with hot meals and backpacks filled with enough food for ten meals.

As of this morning, we still need sponsors for the children we are reaching this summer. Can you help?

• Your gift of $70 will sponsor six children to receive backpacks, each with 10 meals;
• Perhaps you can help us reach a dozen kids for $140;
• Or, go the extra mile and help sponsor 30 kids ($350) or even 300 kids ($3,500).

Every gift will help. Go here to help sponsor meals and backpacks for kids here at home this summer:

If you already donated to support these outreaches to children this summer, THANK YOU SO MUCH! If you haven't yet made a contribution, please consider sponsoring 3, 6, or even 10 kids today.

Thank you for partnering with us!
