Dear Donors,

We are immensely grateful for your generosity and commitment to addressing food insecurity among students in Richland County School Districts. Your support will play a pivotal role in the ColaEats initiative's mission to ensure that no child goes hungry this summer.

As you are aware, the absence of the Summer EBT program this year leaves many students vulnerable to hunger during the summer months. However, through your contributions, we are taking proactive steps to fill this gap and provide essential assistance to those in need.

Your donation will directly impact the lives of 1500 students across three school districts, providing them with access to additional meals throughout the summer. Historically, the Summer EBT program provided $40 per student for three months. With your support and our partnership with Food Lion, we aim to deliver secured gift cards, similar to government-issued EBT cards, ensuring that students can only use them for food purchases.

For just $40, you will provide a student with extra meals to sustain them through the summer months, mitigating the adverse effects of food insecurity on their physical, cognitive, and psychological well-being. Your contribution will not only alleviate hunger but also empower these students to reach their full potential academically and personally.

We understand that the problem of food insecurity is daunting, but with everyone working together, we firmly believe that we can make a tangible difference in the lives of these students. Your support is invaluable in helping us achieve our goal of ensuring that every child in our community has access to nutritious meals, regardless of their circumstances.

 Together, we can create a healthier, more prosperous future for our community.

Thank you once again for your generosity and unwavering commitment to this important cause.

Sincerely,

The Organizers of ColaEats
