Why is the Race Against Hunger still important? 

TS: Unfortunately, 25 years later hunger is still very much here with us. Although important, the Race is not just a fundraiser for the Coalition and our partners. We have also always used it as a way to raise people’s awareness and remind them that hunger is a solvable issue that requires us all to speak up and show our support for legislation that addresses hunger and poverty. 

What is your favorite Race Against Hunger memory? 

TS: My first Race Against Hunger before I even worked at the Coalition was especially memorable. It was called “the Walk” at that time.  I walked the route with my team from WIC. It was beautiful to walk along the River Drives at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the Spring and to see all of the teams from throughout the region coming together.
