God equips every child with incredible potential — potential to learn, grow, and build a hopeful future. Yet for so many children here and around the world, hunger stands in the way of that God-given gift.
A child cannot learn, focus, or thrive when they are hungry. Hunger steals their ability to pay attention, to grow in confidence, and even to envision what their future could be.
But when caring people like you step in to provide reliable meals, there is hope. Recently, I received a note from a school social worker who shared about the impact your generosity is making. Hungry schoolchildren are now receiving consistent meals through resources provided by One More Child. She explains…
“This would not be possible without the help of One More Child and the donors that contribute.”
Donors and resource partners are critical in helping these families receive reliable access to food, ensuring that students flourish in the classroom and at home. With additional support through our Backpack Meals program, children receive weekend provisions that may be their only food until school reopens. Parents are grateful knowing their children won’t go hungry.
But the difference your generosity makes for hungry children extends far beyond our borders.
In South Asia, a teenage girl named Kima* was living a different version of the same story — hunger often kept her from school completely. While other children walked to school each morning, Kima begged for food. With her parents trapped in bonded labor, hunger pushed her toward the same hopeless cycle.
For years, she survived one meal at a time, eating only what strangers shared. She was thin, exhausted, and falling further behind in her education.
Then everything changed.
Through an international One More Child feeding program, Kima began receiving regular meals for the first time in her life. With each meal came dignity and possibility. She returned to school consistently, her health improved, and soon she began to excel academically. Within a year, Kima, once too timid and hungry to even speak, delivered a public speech with confidence and poise. Her story is a testament to how God can use a consistent meal to make a future possible
“He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.”
Psalm 146:7 (NIV)
Your generosity does more than fill bellies; it provides peace and possibility. It steps into the very places where hunger threatens a child’s education and replaces the fear of an empty plate with hope for a future they may not otherwise have.
As we enter a new year of ministry, we are asking friends like you to help us feed one more in 2026. Will you prayerfully consider giving your best gift today so that one more child does not have to choose between feeding
their hunger or their future?
With gratitude,
