Mayflower Marathon – sponsored by FM 99 and 106.9 The Fox – is a 57-hour consecutive food and fund drive that occurs the weekend before Thanksgiving each year. Last year, this event collected enough food and monetary donations to provide more than 537,000 meals (over 840,000 meals including the Virginia Peninsula Food Bank’s donations).
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.
