Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth hosted the 8th annual Thanksgiving Day Grub Run, an unconventional 5K where runners have the chance to race on the same track as their favorite NASCAR drivers. The race also gives participants an opportunity to fight hunger in their community, as everyone is encouraged to bring 5 cans of non-perishable food.
Our friends at Firefighting's Finest Moving & Storage never miss a chance to help, so before sitting down to a holiday meal with their loved ones later that day, members of their crew volunteered their time to assist with the Grub Run's food drive.
Firefighting's Finest had a moving truck stationed at the track, and spent 
Thanksgiving morning collecting donations for their neighbors in need. With a little help from the Dallas Derby Devils, one of the event's sponsors, Firefighting's Finest loaded over 7,300 pounds of food onto the truck - that's enough to provide more than 6,000 meals!
All of the donations were delivered to the Tarrant Area Food Bank, which serves approximately 50,000 people every week, courtesy of Firefighting's Finest Moving & Storage.
Since joining Move For Hunger back in 2010, Firefighting's Finest has collected 213,000 pounds of food - 177,500 meals - for the Tarrant Area Food Bank. Their enduring commitment to fighting hunger in Texas, even on Thanksgiving Day, is an inspiration to us all.
