WhyHunger is a food justice organization working to end hunger and advance the human right to nutritious food in the U.S. and around the world. By funding, connecting, and resourcing grassroots community partners, WhyHunger helps build sustainable, locally led solutions that tackle the root causes of hunger, including social, environmental, racial, and economic injustice.

For more than 50 years, WhyHunger has supported community-driven efforts that connect people to nutritious food today while transforming food systems so that all people can access the food, land, and resources they need to thrive. Your participation in this marathon helps fuel these local-led solutions and moves us closer to a world without hunger.
