Letter from Lauren: December
As we all gear up for a cozy and bright – albeit very different – holiday at home this year, I’m not only taking stock of my blessings after this challenging year of uncertainty, but also looking forward to happier times to come in 2021. I’m thankful for the snow that has blanketed the city in sparkly, white, quiet, just in time for Christmas. I’m thankful for my little (growing) family and all of the extra time I’ve been able to spend with them this year, as we look forward to baby number three in the New Year.
I’m immensely thankful and grateful for this community. You have rallied around our cause in a way that continues to inspire us each day and drive us to do even more. In a year when so many of our neighbors are in need, with 1 in 4 children in the U.S. experiencing hunger, up from 1 in 7 before the pandemic, you have blown us away with your increased support and dedication to shopping FEED and raising awareness about hunger and food insecurity.
Thanks to you, our first-ever holiday meal goal was met and exceeded in a way we didn’t think possible, helping to provide over 1 million school meals in a single holiday season! As always, there’s still more work to be done, but with this community behind us, I know we can do it – and more.
Wishing you a peaceful, safe, and merry Holiday and a very happy and healthy New Year to come!
Cheers,
Lauren Bush Lauren
