We're teaming up again with charity partner A Simple Gesture for 2024's Greensboro Half Marathon and the Thanksgiving season! This year, we are switching to a completely virtual donation model where you'll be able to see how your monetary donations are equivalent to various sizes of donated food bags.
Thank you all for your support in 2023, and thank you for helping support this generous local charity once again in 2024. *When you donate online, you'll automatically be entered into a raffle to win prizes from Fleet Feet & Greensboro Half Marathon/Trivium Racing!
A Simple Gesture uses the power of the community to keep local food pantries stocked. Over 5,000 households across Guilford County fill a bag with nonperishable food and place it on their porch on the pickup day. Our volunteers pick up that food and take it directly to our 20+ partner pantries. A Simple Gesture also recovers perishable food. On a daily basis our volunteers also pick up excess food from grocery stores, restaurants, and caterers, and take it to 30+ nonprofits serving meals to the community. In 2022 A Simple Gesture collected 480,377 pounds of food for hungry children and families in Guilford County.
