With many schools closed, some children don&rsquo;t get enough food, as they rely on meal programs through their school. With many parents losing their jobs, they&rsquo;re struggling to provide for their children. World Vision is working with churches and schools to provide <a href=\"\/disaster-relief-news-stories\/family-emergency-kits-deliver-hope-to-food-insecure-families\">Family Emergency Kits<\/a> to hundreds of thousands of families in need. These kits contain food and hygiene supplies for a family of five for one week to help fill a small part of a family&rsquo;s need.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_73833\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73833\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-73833 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"World Vision&rsquo;s Family Emergency Kits help provide food and supplies for a family for a week.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-850x566.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-1140x759.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Photo-4-1280x852.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-73833\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">World Vision&rsquo;s Family Emergency Kits help provide food and supplies for a family for a week.

They&rsquo;re generous, and their handmade items are a tangible gift of love. Over the last few months, we&rsquo;ve seen crafters sharing their hearts by making masks and donating through Facebook groups and within their local community. With World Vision&rsquo;s need for masks, this is an opportunity to help someone beyond your neighborhood. This Thanksgiving and Christmas season, let&rsquo;s do something for someone we don&rsquo;t know and share God&rsquo;s love. You&rsquo;ll never know the extent of the blessing you&rsquo;re bringing to others.<\/p>\n<h3>If you want to help, here&rsquo;s how you can join me:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Find a pattern.
