#Turn20intoPlenty Step-a-Thon
Morgan Nielsen is raising money for Central Texas Food Bank Inc
Participants: You and 20 of your friends and family
Story
$1 = 4 meals. Goal is $5,000 and 20,000 meals. We need 250 people to participate to hit that goal. LET'S DO IT.
How it works:
- Donate $20
- Tell 20+ other people to do the same by sharing this page
- Mark your calendar for Sunday, September 20th, 2020
- Hit 20k steps in the day (walk, run, wheel, etc.)
- Post your progress and encourage more donations using #turn20intoplenty
- First person to hit 20k steps in the day gets LOTS of bragging rights
- Or you can just donate and skip the stepping -- the money makes the meals
Why do it?
- There are a lot of people and families in our community facing hunger right now, and a little from a lot of people goes a long way.
- Central Texas Food Bank has been doing some Mobile Pantry drives over the last few months since COVID-19 hit, and all sorts of people are pulling up to get boxes of food and stay fed.
- CTXFB has spun up some great programs to try to tackle this issue at scale, so let's help fuel the fuel.
Some quick facts from CTXFB circa 2019:
- 1 in 5 children is at risk of hunger
- 40 percent of the clients we serve are children or older adults
- We serve nearly 46,000 people every week
- 93 percent of our clients are not homeless
- The majority of our clients work, but have trouble making ends meet
