Hunger Doesn’t Take a Holiday
Summer in Canada is well underway and for many of us this means some kind of vacation, family outings, camping or just time off to relax. For millions of children living in poverty, who rely on a school meal as their only source of food, that meal no longer exists when school is out for the summer. Hunger doesn’t take a holiday. Children wait uncertain of where their next meal will come.
Without a reliable meal at school, many children go hungry every summer. During the summer months, with your help, Speroway will provide vitally needed community feeding programs and home family food packages. No one deserves to be malnourished like Samuel, hungry with a belly swollen from worms and deprived of the nutrients essential for health and growth. Please help us stop this chronic hunger.
Unfortunately summer is a very slow time for a lot of charities like Speroway. People are busy and away – often not seeing a mailing like this one – so this adds to the challenge in supporting children with a campaign for food during the summer months.We do not always have the opportunity to have a food partner multiply the gifts of our donors, so now is tremendous time to give. It starts with donors like you.

In the developing countries where Speroway works very few of the children get to go anywhere for the summer break. The only real change for them is maybe more house chores or some extra work in the fields trying to help their families. Unfortunately the biggest loss for most of these children is the one guaranteed meal they get from their school food program. I would like to wish you and your family all the best this summer and thank you for considering a special gift to help hungry children during the summer months.
