In June and July of 2026, Sinclair partnered with Feeding America and local food banks across the country for Sinclair Cares: Summer Hunger Relief to help children and families facing food insecurity when school meals are no longer available during the summer months.
Through the generosity of viewers, communities, local partners and Sinclair teams, campaign contributions had helped provide more than 1.2 million meals this summer.
Across the Sinclair network, local stations brought this important need to the forefront through powerful storytelling and sustained on-air support:
- 100 local news stories
- 4,708 mentions throughout news programming
- 142 airings of the 30-minute program special
- More than 36,000 promotional spots
- 133 million impressions delivered through the spot campaign
Thank you to the teams across Sinclair who helped bring this campaign to life and kept the message visible in communities nationwide. Together, we are helping ensure children and families have access to the meals they need during the summer months and beyond — and continuing our commitment to enrich the local lives in the communities we serve.
