One in four children in the U.S. could face hunger this year because of the coronavirus. No Kid Hungry is working tirelessly to ensure no child misses a meal during and beyond this crisis. All nominated broadcast and streaming partners have committed to donating $100,000 per Emmy win throughout Sunday’s program. In support of these unprecedented donations, the Television Academy announced it will make its own pledge of $500,000 in support of No Kid Hungry. These contributions will grant a combined $2.8 million to No Kid Hungry’s work to ensure that kids are fed, both during this crisis and throughout its aftermath.
