Derrick Rutledge | PERFECTING YOUR PRESENCE has joined Team Feed to help end hunger in America. NO ONE SHOULD GO WITHOUT A MEAL - FEEDING AMERICA ESTIMATES 50 MILLION PEOPLE IN AMERICA WILL FACE HUNGER THIS YEAR. I along with my PERFECTING YOUR PRESENCE TEAM we have created this fundraiser to help provide these much needed meals to our neighbors through the Feeding America network of food banks and we're asking you to join us in our cause.

MY GOAL IS TO HELP FEED AMERICA - FEED A TOTAL OF 6,250 CHILDREN & FAMILIES.

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted communities large and small, and the ripple effects could be felt for years to come. School closures and stay-at-home orders have upended household budgets. At the same time, Feeding America network food banks are facing an unprecedented set of circumstances with increased demand, a decline in food donations, and fewer volunteers. For hardworking families across America, the economic impact of the pandemic means long-term financial hardship. That means millions of more families may face the difficult decision of paying rent or buying groceries this month – and will likely face similar difficult decisions in the months to come as they recover.

According to the most recent USDA report on food security in the U.S. -

• 37.2 million people, including 11.2 million children, did not have adequate access to nutritious food to live a healthy life.

• It is projected that the total food insecure population could reach more than 54 million.

• The number of food insecure children could escalate to 18 million because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FEEDING AMERICA ESTIMATES THAT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, 50 MILLION PEOPLE COULD BE AT RISK OF HUNGER IN 2020-2021.

Starting on 12/24/2020 A portion of sales from every lash sold in the Derrick Rutledge Perfecting Your Presence Eyelash Collection will be donated to FEEDING AMERICA COVID-19 RELIEF EFFORTS(Excludes The Limited Edition Eyelash Collection Box Set).
