January 22, 2020

Rachael Lyons from Olympia Moving & Storage, a Wheaton Worldwide agent, turned miles into meals at the most magical place on Earth! On January 12, Rachael represented Team Move For Hunger at the Disney World Marathon. This was Rachael's first marathon and she raised nearly $2,700 to support our hunger relief and food rescue programs!

Not only did Rachael raise enough money to help us provide nearly 6,400 meals this year, she also recently joined our Corporate Action Network. As a member of this committee, Rachael will serve as a trusted advisor to our Executive Director, help recruit additional leaders to join our cause, integrate Move For Hunger into the relocation policies of the world's leading companies, and organize food drives/fundraisers throughout the year.

Thank you, Rachael, for everything you're doing to help us reduce food waste and fight hunger!
