A “marathon” that fields no competitors, covers no miles, and has no finish line may not immediately seem like a candidate for success, but organizers of the the Million Meal Marathon say it is achieving exactly what they envisioned.
The Marathon is the signature event of the Million Meal Movement. Hintz co-founded the movement in 2007 with her husband, Dan.
The next Marathon is Feb. 5 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
If you volunteer, you will become part of a high-speed assembly line known as the “Helping Hands.” The work is straightforward: Measure and pour four specific ingredients into a funnel, filling a bag that will go to someone who is hungry around the state. The combination of soy, rice, dried vegetables, and vitamin mix fan fully feed a family.
The Marathon can always use extra Helping Hands and currently is thin on volunteers later in the early evening shifts. To sign up, click here.
If you’d prefer to donate, each $1 donated can provide two family meals.
