For the 22 million kids who rely on free and reduced price meals nationwide, a school closure is more than an inconvenience: it's an emergency. The issue of food security has never been more important in every neighborhood," Sandberg wrote on Facebook, sharing that the fundraiser will help to employ a temporary workforce for the food bank due to low volunteer turnout.
