Running on Empty

Tax deductible
Dear Friends –

Many of you know my passion for running (among other questionable endeavors) and for the pursuit of ending hunger/food waste.  On January 5, 2019 I’m running in the Bandera 100KM Endurance Trail Run. 

Once again, I’m running a ridiculously long race in the hopes that as I push farther, you might yet again support me and my efforts on behalf of Second Servings of Houston.  This is the organization for which I’ve run previously and where I currently serve on the board. 

Second Servings has had an incredible 2018, well exceeding its goal of rescuing over ONE MILLION pounds of food ...fresh, wholesome food that is now filling stomachs, instead of landfills.

But we're not resting on our laurels because 1 in 5 Houstonians still faces food insecurity, and nearly 40% of the available food supply is still going to waste.  When people are hungry, they can’t learn, can’t work, and can’t grow.  Feeding hungry people doesn’t just fill bellies, it changes lives.  

Thanks to our generous food donors, our FREE daily deliveries provide over 10,000 meals/week to 62 charity sites serving a diverse population including veterans, adults in recovery, at-risk youth, disabled seniors, abused women and children, developmentally challenged adults, and many others.

Much like running an ultramarathon, fighting hunger and food waste in our communities requires a long-term approach.  Your prior support has been tremendous and I’m hoping that you embrace my cause once again and consider pushing your support a bit further as I push myself to run farther than ever before
