After a grueling 13.1-mile race, runners need to refuel. There was plenty of food and drinks waiting for the athletes when they cross the finish line, more than the competitors could possibly consume. So what happens to everything that the runners don't take?
Thanks to Crown Relocations, more than 3,600 lbs. of bottled water, fresh oranges, and other snacks were recovered from the race. Everything was delivered to the Houston Food Bank, which services an area where more than 1.1 million people are food insecure, and has been facing an even greater demand in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
More than 42 million Americans are facing hunger each day, yet 40% of the food produced in the United States each year is lost or wasted. Thank you to our friends at Crown Relocations of Houston for your commitment to reducing food waste and fighting hunger!
