Feed the hungry and join me for an amazing event :)
Hi everyone:
November is quickly approaching, with the promise of Thanksgiving and the winter holidays (and vacation!) not too far away. For many of us, the holiday season reminds us of great memories of family, friends and yes, great food.
But for the nearly 1.3 million New Yorkers who rely on emergency food services to feed their family, it’s this time of year that can be the most difficult, offering them a stark reminder about what they are missing.
I am writing because I’m hopeful you’ll join me in making a difference in the lives of those New Yorkers most in need. I’ve decided to join Robin Hood (www.robinhood.org), New York City’s largest anti-poverty organization, as a Co-Chair member of their Food for Good initiative, where they are partnering with Fresh Direct to deliver holiday meals to 120,000 New Yorkers. For just $50, you can purchase a delicious holiday meal, complete with turkey and all the fixings, that will feed a family of eight. 100% of every donation will go to helping to feed people.
I want to invite you to join me on Thursday, November 12th at Robin Hood’s Food for Good event at M2 in New York City from 8pm-11pm.
Robin Hood is known for their events, and this evening will be no different. It’ll be an amzing crowd with celebrities and people from every conceivable industry, great music, lots of drinks, and an inspiring message. Price of admission: The purchase of at least one $50 holiday meal through Fresh Direct, with a VIP ticket available to anyone purchasing at least 10 holiday meal boxes ($500 donation).
Even if you can’t attend, I hope you’ll still consider helping those less fortunate this holiday season by going directly to Fresh Direct and donating at least $50
Just visit foodforgood.eventbrite.com to purchase your meal and donate to the cause.
Just be sure to let me know when you donate, so I can keep track of who’s attending the event and ensure that you are on the list, and so I can see how many New Yorkers my friends can help feed this holiday season.
Thank you in advance for considering this request. I know for many of us, it’s been a challenging year. Yet I think we all also recognize that we are fortunate compared to so many others who are having trouble simply putting food on the table. Working together, we can brighten the lives of many people in need during this time of year, and give them some great holiday memories of their own.
I hope to see you on November 12th!
Warm regards,
Richie
