Why is the Race Against Hunger still important? 

AB: Having experienced hunger first hand, I know now more than ever how important the Race Against Hunger is for so many people, not only in our region but across the state and country. The Race is an opportunity to raise not only funds, but awareness for a problem that can be defeated if we all work together to actively confront it in our communities. Our pantry partners have proven that this is possible because they have continued to feed families throughout the pandemic. The Race is essential because it will lend aid to #HungerFighters who never stopped providing aid to their neighbors. 

What is your favorite Race Against Hunger memory? 

AB:  Even though I’ve never had the opportunity to attend a Race Against Hunger event in the past, this first one just might be my favorite. In preparation for the Race I’ve been fortunate enough to talk to veteran RAH attendees about their favorite race memories and why they have committed their time and efforts to help support the Coalition and our pantry partners. I’ve heard so many amazing stories, each was shared with such excitement and happiness, I feel like I have been to each Race before this one. It makes me even more excited for this years Race to start so that I can make #RAH25 memories of my own.
