Mayflower Marathon is a 57-hour consecutive 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 one-million meals.
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.
