Story

No person or organization can do great things alone. That is why we invite you to save the date for the 26th Annual FM99 and 106.9 The Fox Mayflower Marathon taking place Friday, November 18 through Sunday, November 20.

Mayflower Marathon is a 57 consecutive hour food and fund drive that occurs the weekend before Thanksgiving each year. The tradition of the low contact drive-thru model allows the Foodbank to continue to operate in the same safe, efficient model to collect and distribute food quickly to families in need this Thanksgiving. Last year, this event collected enough food and monetary donations to provide more than 537,000 meals.

According to our partners at Feeding America, food insecurity in 2022 is expected to rise in our service area due to a multitude of factors, including COVID-19. The number of individuals experiencing food insecurity will rise by 17% from 2019 and the number of children experiencing food insecurity will rise by 18%. As the holiday season quickly approaches, your support will allow us to meet the growing needs of our community and provide something many of our vulnerable neighbors lost during the pandemic hope.

With 57 hours to participate, giving has never been so easy. Simply drive through and donate; volunteers will be on hand to collect your donations. Foodbank Friends who would like to make an impact but cannot make it to either site will be able to donate online, share their impact, and encourage others to do the same.

Together, with you, we are ending hunger today and nourishing hope for tomorrow.
