Dear Friend,
To add meaning to the holiday season, every Christmas I help raise funds for Bread for the World with the help of my traveling friends at Rick Steves’ Europe. In these challenging times, the needs of those experiencing hunger and poverty are particularly great — but that means the rewards of helping are great too!
I’d love to match your gift 2-to-1 and send you a special Christmas package as thanks for a $100 gift to bolster Bread’s work.
Bread for the World is a strong and compassionate advocate in Congress for people struggling with hunger. Some in Congress and the administration continue to push for unprecedented cuts to anti-hunger programs. But I’ve seen firsthand how those same programs are working to help move people out of poverty as I traveled around Guatemala and Ethiopia filming my new TV special. Bread for the World and its network of advocates across the country lobby our government leaders to defend these programs.
The need is so clear, the momentum is so good, and Bread for the World is so effective. That’s why I’m inspired to offer you this challenge: give a gift today, and I’ll match your donation 2-to-1, up to $700,000 to Bread for the World. Generous people like you responded to my challenge last year and gave more than $500,000. Together, it’s my hope that we can raise even more this year for Bread and make a difference for millions of people experiencing hunger both at home and abroad this Christmas.

I see Bread for the World not as a charity, but as a service. If we care about hunger, in my opinion, advocacy is the most effective way to put our dollars to work to fight it. Bread and its network of advocates across the country take my concern about hunger and transform it into effective action by smartly — and doggedly — urging Congress to do its part to overcome hunger. Bread for the World advocacy leverages far-reaching changes for struggling people — and we power Bread with our financial support.
So here’s my challenge to you: Help Bread for the World with your donation of $100 or more. As a thank you, I’ll match your donation 2-to-1 and send you three gifts from my Rick Steves’ European Christmas collection:
- “Rick Steves’ European Christmas” DVD (our public television special celebrating a traditional, non-commercial, and sacred Christmas in seven different countries)
- “Rick Steves’ European Christmas” coffee table book (the fun insights and best photos I gathered while producing the special)
- “Rick Steves’ European Christmas” music CD (produced while filming, featuring our 20 favorite European carols — this is my personal favorite for fresh new Christmas-time music)
I’ll happily pay for the cost of these three gifts, as well as the shipping, so that Bread for the World can put 100 percent of your donation to work giving a voice to the voiceless. Make your gift by Dec. 9 — and you’ll get everything, along with our latest travel newsletter, in time for Christmas. Consider sharing these gifts with family and friends.
These gifts will add a wonderful new dimension to your family celebrations for years to come, while also empowering you to play a role in ending hunger and poverty here in the U.S. and around the world.
Sincerely,
