“Giving back is something my family and I value. I support No Kid Hungry because they work to ensure that every child has access to healthy food where they live.

“I give back because I want to do what I can with what I have to make a positive impact. I support the Equal Justice Initiative because they promote equity in the justice system and protection of the human rights of prisoners in the US as well as helping to end racial inequality.

“Cradles to Crayons helps support children that don’t always have the basic necessities. As a mother it’s hard to know any kid could go without basic needs. The donation we made, with the match through Matterport Cares, helped provide several children a winter coat.
