The Elizabeth Elting Foundation Partners with The Campaign Against Hunger This Holiday Season

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Elizabeth Elting Foundation (EEF) is partnering with The Campaign Against Hunger to help feed more families this holiday season. EEF is donating $115,000 to the nonprofit The Campaign Against Hunger (TCAH), which will help provide 100,00 meals for those in need in the New York City area.

Over 38 million Americans struggle with food insecurity, with over 1 million of those struggling in New York City. Rising inequality and hunger have been longtime issues throughout the US, but the pandemic has exacerbated these problems, throwing more families into uncertainty. With the wealth gap widening at an alarmingly increasing rate over the last two years, many Americans, especially in underserved communities, have been set back even further. The opportunity and ability to thrive starts with access to proper nutrition and basic healthcare.
