Fundraising Partnership to Help Provide
Meals to Children This Summer When School is Not in Session
Sinclair to Donate $25,000
More than 20 Million children in America count on school meal
programs. During the summer months, when school is out of session
and school meals are no longer available, food banks step in to
help get nutritious food to children during summer.
Sinclair today announced the company will partner with Feeding
America® to launch Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger
Relief, an awareness and fundraising campaign to help provide 1
million meals to children and families across the U.S. this
summer.
The campaign, which begins today, will run throughout June and
July.
Through financial contributions, viewers can help provide access
to meals to children and families in their local community.
Campaign contributions will go directly to the local Feeding
America food bank, based on the zip code on the donor’s credit
card.
Through Feeding America, every $1 dollar
donated helps provide at least 10 meals secured by
Feeding America on behalf of local partner food banks.
The Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger Relief campaign will be
supported by a $25,000 donation from Sinclair.
The campaign will also be supported through public service
campaigns across the company’s owned and/or operated television
stations, Tennis Channel, and multicast networks Comet, CHARGE!,
TBD, and The Nest.
In partnership with Feeding America, Sinclair will produce
content to air throughout the campaign, and Sinclair will also
produce a 30-minute special which will spotlight ways to help
children stay nourished and healthy throughout the summer,
featuring interviews with Feeding America partner food banks across
the country. The special will air on Sinclair’s television stations
June 29 and 30, and the stations will stream an extended version of
the special on their respective websites on June 27.
The Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger Relief donation portal will be
open throughout June and July, with Sinclair hosting a concentrated
day of giving on June 20.
“With 1 in 5 kids facing hunger in America**, this initiative is
crucial in addressing the food insecurity that many children face
during the summer months when school is not in session. After a
successful campaign in 2022, we are proud to partner again with
Feeding America to bridge the gap and help provide meals to the
families in our communities,” said Rob Weisbord, Chief Operations
Officer and President of Local Media.
“All children need nutritious food for their well-being today
and brighter futures tomorrow, said Lauren Biedron, Feeding
America's Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. “We are
so grateful for partners like Sinclair Broadcasting Group whose
commitment to supporting Feeding America through its Sinclair
Cares: Summer Hunger Relief campaign will help provide meals to
children facing hunger this summer.”
