Dear Mr.
Think
for work,
hours
deli

Dotson:
about your daily morning routine. You snooze your alarm clock, get dressed
eat a quick breakfast with coffee and shuffle out to your car. You spend four
sifting through story proposals while organizing the latest approved
content. Around noon, you take a quick break to enjoy lunch from the
across the street. Now imagine going through the day without eating.
How productive would you be?

Over 28 percent of children in Florida struggle with hunger. A news

story detailing childhood hunger and the impacts of Feeding Children
Everywhere would be ideal for ONE: Central Florida. Feeding Children
Everywhere is a social charity based in Orlando that empowers and
mobilizes people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children. The
team, created by Orlando residents, combines four key ingredients that provide the essential daily
nutrients. They then send these meals to families in the Central Florida area and communities around
the world. ONE: Central Florida highlights unique contributions to the community, with a focus on
engagement and education. Your recent stories focused on community groups and charities reflect
the main mission of our organization.
Were offering exclusive access to the Feeding Children Everywhere story to ONE: Central Florida.
Founder and CEO Don Campbell and other members of the team welcome personal interviews and
questions. Feeding Children Everywhere is also offering photo and video opportunities at local Hunger
Project events and the company headquarters. Ill call Friday, May 1, to see if I might be of any help
on this possible story. If you have any questions before that time, my direct phone line is 904-4511220.
Sincerely,
Amelia Williams

Don Campbell
Chief Executive Officer
Feeding Children Everywhere

As the creator and founder of Feeding Children Everywhere, Don Campbell has the privilege
of overseeing an organization that has grown tremendously within the past four and a half
years. Starting with six hunger projects the first year to currently having about 500 annually,
FCE has flourished at an incredible pace.
His story began around the kitchen table. As a father of four, he was always asking his kids
to bring friends from the community that were in need of a meal. With his passion for food
and heart for people, he began an organization dedicated to helping those in need. After
selling his roofing business, he and his wife Kristen began this non profit organization that is
now working with multi-billion dollar companies. JPMorgan Chase began working with FCE
just two short years after they began and are still supporters today. This summer alone they
will team up with FCE to create 1.6 million meals to distribute.
Campbell is a person who is passionate about both food and people, believing that they go
hand-in-hand. He wanted to create a meal that would not only fight hunger but that would
also bring nutritional value. The organization has received multiple corporate recognitions all
over the country, including a feature TIMEs Game Changers: 5 New Next Big Things.
After seeing the way that hunger was affecting America he created a program called Love
Local, which allowed schools across the United States to sponsor meals to provide for their
students. This not only allowed for FCE to reach world hunger but also those closest to home.
To this day Feeding Children Everywhere has shipped over 10 million meals to children in
America and 20 million meals around the world.

events. FCE has hosted about 155,000 volunteers over the past four and a half years, with
every event bringing smiles and fun the second they walk in the room.

relationships. After being a part of the organization for three years, hes very familiar with
the heart and motivation of FCE and shares it with those in the community. The
organizations global hunger projects have not only allowed him to share the message locally

Childhood Hunger Fact Sheet

Children who suffer from hunger are sick more often and recover more slowly than
children who dont struggle from hunger. Hungry children are more likely to be
hospitalized, experience headaches, stomachaches, ear infections and colds as well as
being more susceptible to obesity (World Health Organization).

Over 15 million children under 18 in the United States live in households where they
are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food necessary for a healthy life
(United States Department of Agriculture).

Poverty is the main cause of child hunger. Approximately 20 percent of children in the
U.S. lived in poverty in 2013 (DeNavas-Walt, C. & B.D. Proctor).

Food insecurity is defined as inconsistent access to adequate food because of a lack of

money and other resources. There are 16 counties within the United States that has
over 100,000 children who are food-insecure (United States Department of
Agriculture).

One in seven people are enrolled in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

(SNAP). Nearly half of them are children.

Almost 31.6 million children ate a federally funded school lunch in 2010 (United States
Department of Agriculture).

Poor nutrition plays a role in at least half of the 7.6 million child deaths each year.
(UNICEF 2008).

Children who dont get enough nutrition regularly have higher levels of behavioral,
academic and emotional problems including aggression and anxiety (World Health
Organization).
