Earlier this year in Episode 162, I shared the launch of the MDR Give Back Program — our commitment to donate 1% of all company sales to organizations fighting hunger, specifically Feeding America and No Kid Hungry.

This episode is a short follow-up and reminder of that commitment. I’m sharing what that initiative produced in 2025, and why the cause behind it remains so important.

Food insecurity continues to affect millions of families and children, which makes the work of organizations like Feeding America and No Kid Hungry more critical than ever.

If you’ve been wanting to do something meaningful and be part of addressing this need, I invite you to join me.

I’ve started a No Kid Hungry fundraiser on Instagram, and I’d love for this community to rally around it. Donate if you can, share the campaign, and help us extend the impact of this effort.

Head to @themariadr on Instagram to join the fundraiser.
