Did You Know? 

Wednesday officially marks the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Summer is a time many of us associate with fun, sun, freedom, and relaxation. 

However, summer is a season that brings with it a devastating challenge for many children: summer hunger. With the lack of school-provided lunches, many children have access to fewer meals and less food during the summer. 

In 2019, 29 million kids participated in the National School Lunch Program to eat during the school year. Come summertime, only 4.7 million kids receive meals from the USDA Summer Food Service Program. 

What can you do to help? Host a food drive. Sponsor a site for the Summer Food Service Program. Advocate for the Hunger-Free Summer for Kids Act. Learn more about Childhood Hunger During The Summer.

This week's Mini Challenge

This week, we are excited to highlight the amazing teams participating in the MOVE 2 Fight Hunger Challenge with our Week 3 Mini-Challenge. Our teams have shown us that there is strength in numbers and even if we are separated by a screen, you can still show meaningful support.

Our Week 3 Mini-Challenge this week is to have your team log as many meals as you can between 9am EST on June 21st and 9am EST on June 27th. For this challenge, all teams will start on an even playing field and only the meals that are logged from 9am EST on June 21st to 9am EST on June 27th will count towards this challenge. The team who provides the most meals during this time window will win a prize!

Photo Challenge: send us a photo of your team competing during the challenge!

 

This Week's Playlist

Our Week 4 playlist is brought to you by our guest DJs. Take a listen and jam to some of the team's favorite workout tunes. 

 

As a reminder - last week’s Mini-Challenge, is the Team Challenge is still active until Tuesday (tomorrow) at 9 AM EST. Stay tuned for the winner of the Week 3 Team Challenge. Thank you to everyone who has participated thus far; every single meal raised is desperately needed and no one meal counts more than another.  

So let’s have fun, get out of your comfort zone, and LET’S SPRINT TO THE FINISH to hit our 165,000 meal goal!
