There’s Still Time to Donate Online!
November 16, 2018 – November 18, 2018
This is a 57-hour consecutive food and fund drive that takes place the weekend before Thanksgiving each year. The goal of this event is to put food on the tables of those struggling with hunger in our community during a time of year that should be spent celebrating with loved ones, instead of worrying where their next meal will come from. Last year, we collected over 667,000 meals through food and monetary donations, but with 171,000 food-insecure individuals living in our community, we need to collect even more this year! Please consider joining us at Mayflower Marathon this year by donating food or funds, or by volunteering your time.
