As per the All In Challenge's website, “Food insecurity is a mounting issue but never more important than during COVID-19 and the unprecedented shortage of food resources our nation is facing. Among those most in need: students who rely on currently closed schools for several of their meals each week; the newly unemployed who are facing uncertain circumstances; and a vulnerable elderly population sequestered in their homes without access to food." The site further adds that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen and No Kid Hungry. By donating the minimum sum of $10, a person is automatically eligible to win one of several preferred 'enter to win' prizes.
