Did you know that in NY about 1 in 10 households suffer from food insecurity. That number is astonishing. During hard times, like these, more and more families struggle to know where their next meal will come from. With the help of the expert team at Meals on Us, we hope this Holiday season we can help many families have quality food & resources going into the New Year.

The mission at Meals on Us is simple - to end hunger amongst New York's homeless citizens & eliminate food waste from restaurants and soup kitchens. One sandwich, one bottle of water, one snack, whatever it takes to make sure that no person on this Earth goes hungry. Food is a basic human right that we do not look over or take for granted.

In addition, donSMITH will be donating the first month's sales of his brand-new album "Don't Ask Me Where I'm From" directly to Meals on Us, as they continue to feed those in need throughout New York City.

donSMITH and Meals On Us ultimate goal is to bring awareness to the financial struggles of millions of New Yorkers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to help alleviate some of the unbearable stress and pressure that this has brought upon people in his community by offering some hope in the way of nourishment.

How Else Can You Help - If you cannot donate money or food in person or are just interested in helping out further, there is a free and easy solution; please share this campaign with 10 of your friends! IG Story, Facebook, E-Mail, Text... let everyone know what we got going on. We never know where our next donor can come from!
