Dear Delegates, Sponsors, and Guests of TUCMUN,
At TUCMUN, we strive to inspire future leaders who will create meaningful change both globally and locally. As your Director of Charitable Giving, I am excited to introduce Feed More as the official charity for this year’s TUCMUN conference.
Feed More is an organization that has been fighting hunger and providing nourishment to those in need across Central Virginia for over five decades. By collecting, preparing, and distributing food, Feed More serves more than 165,000 individuals across 29 counties and 5 cities, providing over 35 million pounds of food annually. Their mission goes beyond just feeding people. They are dedicated to providing hope and restoring dignity to those who are struggling with food insecurity.
In our own community, 1 in 6 children face hunger, and 70% of clients rely on Feed More’s services just 8 times or fewer a year, showing how food insecurity can affect anyone, often unexpectedly. With over 250 community partners, including food pantries, soup kitchens, and group homes, Feed More reaches out to the most vulnerable in our region, providing critical support through their network.
As a school, TUCMUN has always been committed to giving back, and this year we have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors. Our goal is to raise awareness about Feedmore and funds to the best of our ability throughout our preparation of the conference. Any donations we are able to make will directly support their hunger relief programs, allowing them to provide even more nutritious food to those who need it most.
To make this possible, we need your support. I am excited to see all delegates contribute to our cause this year during our conference days and help our community in need.
Thank you for your support,
Sri Nair
