twe n ty- on e
dear coregiving donor, On behalf of the Board, thank you for supporting CoreGiving in 2021. Due to your generous contribution, this past year we reached more children and families than ever before. In fact, your donation helped us give
7.5 million meals in 22 states through more than 50 food banks. We also surpassed our goal of raising $1,500,000, which translated to around
7,500,000 meals. What began as one organization’s fight has evolved – we have now joined forces with Blackstone and nine of its portfolio companies, corporate partners and individual donors who support our mission to end childhood hunger. We are grateful for your partnership. Sincerely,
Luke J. Petherbridge Chairman of the Board, CoreGiving

ABOUT COREGIVING According to Feeding America, 1 in 6 U.S. children struggle with hunger. These children may not know where their next meal will come from. Many suffer from disadvantages in school or personal relationships, along with physical and cognitive development due to hunger and food uncertainty. We believe that when people are empowered to care for their most vulnerable, entire communities are lifted. Along with our corporate partners, we developed our “CoreGiving: Dollars Hours Meals” program, which aims to fight hunger one DOLLAR, one HOUR and one MEAL at a time. Since 2016, we have donated more than 10,000,000 meals and are actively partnering with community leaders and families in more than 11 states to address child hunger. With the support of our generous partners, we are meeting the needs of families across the country and helping them build a brighter future. CoreGiving is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Thanks to you, she has found food and comfort at our Mobile Market near St. Mary’s Park in the Bronx. ‘My favorite type of food to get from the Mobile Market is the vegetables. I like to stay healthy – I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits. My favorite vegetables are green beans, carrots, broccoli, cabbage. This market helps a lot…helps to save money to buy other things for the house.’”
