How J. Kenji López-Alt turns book sales into community support for those in need.
In short: J. Kenji López-Alt explains how his book sales directly fund meals for hospital workers, first responders, and families facing food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic. This initiative aims to support both those on the front lines and service industry employees who have lost their jobs.
The initiative centers on a commitment where 100% of the author's sales commission from his books is donated to a free meal fund. This fund specifically targets individuals and families hit hard by the pandemic, including those already experiencing food insecurity and service workers currently out of work.
Beyond the meal fund, the program provides an additional 10% of sales to support independent bookstores across the country. By leveraging his platform, López-Alt aims to address these economic and social challenges through organized community action and the provision of food.
