WASHINGTON (SBG) — Roughly 22 million children rely on their school for meals five days per week.

Those meals disappear when children are let out of school for the summer, so Sinclair Broadcast Group, Bally Sports, The Tennis Channel and all of our divisions are partnering with Feeding America to help feed children nationwide.

Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger Relief is a fundraising campaign to help provide meals to children and families across the U.S., with a goal of donating 1 million meals this summer. The campaign will run throughout the month of June.

In addition, The National Desk (TND) and Sinclair’s local newsrooms will be producing content in partnership with Feeding America to air within the newscasts, spotlighting ways to help kids stay nourished and healthy throughout the summer.

For kids who count on school meal programs to stay healthy, summer vacation can be anything but a break and may mean three months of worry and hunger. We are proud to partner with Feeding America to bridge the gap through the summer months and help provide meals to the families in our communities,” said Rob Weisbord, Chief Operations Officer and president of broadcast.

Through your financial donation, you can help provide meals to children and families in your local community. Your contribution will go directly to the Feeding America food bank in your area.

Every dollar donated helps provide at least 10 meals on behalf of local member food banks.

Sinclair has committed to match the first $25,000 in donations made through SinclairCares.com.

Join us to reach the goal of providing 1 million meals this summer.

At Feeding America, we want to help provide the food and resources communities tell us they need to thrive,” said Chief Marketing & Digital Experience Officer at Feeding America Jennifer Polk. “This partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group could not come at a better time. Summers can be especially difficult for many families who rely on school meals and we hope this campaign helps to provide much-needed support at this critical time.”
