Everyone has been to a race at some point in their life. It is fun - you get to be outside and have a great time. However, ever notice how when the marathon is over there is always leftover food? Bottles of water, granola bars, and fruit among others. Well on Sunday, September 18th not at this marathon: Gentle Giant Moving Company will rescue all of the food at Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon in Philadelphia. The event is not only a marathon but a chance to take action against hunger. September is Hunger Action Month, when food insecurity is brought to light. In Philadelphia more than 750,000 are struggling to find their next meal, this includes one out of seven children. It is a fabulous chance to help out the citizens of Philadelphia and become one step closer to beating hunger.
All rescued food will benefit Philabundance food bank in Philadelphia.
The half marathon & 5K will start on Sunday, September 18 at Eakins Oval, the parking lot in front of the Art Museum, 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway in the heart of Philadelphia at 7:30 A.M.
#GoodMove, Gentle Giant! Keep phighting hunger!
