A matching $20 donation was made for each referral, totaling $210, and donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The Society is the largest MS organization in the world, and over 8.6 million people engage with it each year. They continue to make progress toward MS cures by breaking down global barriers and bringing all perspectives to the table.
Our charity for July and August is Northwest Harvest. Northwest Harvest distributes food to more than 350 food banks, meal programs, and schools across Washington.
Hunger often happens when people are forced to make choices between eating and other essential needs like rent or medicine. We choose to support Northwest Harvest during the summer months because childhood hunger is a significant issue that affects millions of children, particularly during the summer when school meal services are unavailable. It is estimated that 22 million children experience food insecurity during the summer each year.
Almost 30 million students in the United States receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year. When summer arrives, the meals stop, which sadly leads to summer hunger among children. It is estimated that only about 5 million children continue to get free or reduced meals during the summer months.
Summer hunger and food insecurity can cause both physical and mental health problems and lead to poor educational performance when school starts again. Not having enough food also puts children at risk for increased emotional and behavioral issues, including higher rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems.
You can support our charity by donating directly or referring a friend or family member for a free, no-obligation insurance quote.
Thank you for your referrals. They mean a lot to us!
