TODAY ONLY: 3X World Food Day Match

1 in 11 people are hungry — Give now ≫ [View Online]( This email is from CARE Action – CARE’s advocacy network working 24/7 to fight hunger and poverty with those at the highest and most powerful level, the U.S. government. [Today is World Food Day. CARE Action 3X Match triples your action to fight for food for all.]( [3X MATCH - GIVE NOW]( Dear {NAME}, today is World Food Day. Here are three questions (and answers) you need to know today… [Q: Is global hunger decreasing? No.]( Food security around the world has worsened five years in a row. Today, almost 282 million people in 59 countries and territories do not have enough food – that’s 24 million more than last year. [Q: Is U.S. Congress helping to fight hunger? Sort of.]( The Farm Bill is U.S. legislation that ensures children, women, and families have reliable access to nutritious food. But… The Farm Bill is 6 years old. The U.S. Congress has simply been extending the bill in its current form since it was passed in 2018. But since then, war has started in Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza – these three crises alone account for a majority of the world’s most vulnerable hungry people right now. Today’s hunger crisis doesn’t fit the promises of a 6-year-old bill. [That’s where you help.]( [Q: Can my $10 actually help? YES!]( Every dollar today TRIPLES in impact to help the CARE Action network reach key policymakers at the highest levels of the U.S. government to fight hunger. Congress’s failure to renew and strengthen the Farm Bill means that help for millions of people facing hunger is uncertain at best. [Not on CARE’s watch, and not on yours.]( Today, more than 282 million people do not have enough food. [Only for World Food Day: 3X Match Triples Yours Action.]( [3X MATCH - GIVE NOW]( A 6-year-old Farm Bill simply does NOT meet current global needs. Here's why… [Food insecurity is reaching catastrophic levels in hunger hotpots worldwide.]( Parts of Gaza, Sudan, Mali, and Sudan are experiencing near-famine conditions already. In some areas of Central Darfur, over 90% of children under 5 suffer from acute malnutrition. [Your World Food Day gift is matched 3X to spur action against hunger.]( [70% of the world's hungry people live in war zones and places affected by violence.]( What is happening right now in Ukraine and Gaza is proof of how conflict and violence drive up hunger by forcing people to flee their homes, leaving them with no ability to feed their families as food supplies drop and prices skyrocket. [Give now to have 3X the impact to fight for food for all.]( [Nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 are attributable to malnutrition.]( That makes malnutrition one of the leading killers of children under five. What makes this fact even harder to accept is that malnutrition is preventable with a healthy and balanced diet. Yet, millions of children continue to suffer. CARE Action fights for provisions in the Farm Bill that include significant, common-sense reforms to food aid programs that enable nutritious food to reach more people. [Take action this World Day and your gift is matched 3X when it’s needed most.​​​]( {NAME}, the Farm Bill truly has a positive impact on people’s lives. For example, the Food for Peace program authorized in the Farm Bill is the United States’ longest standing permanent program for providing international food aid and has reached more than 4 billion hungry people since its inception.
