Volunteer alongside Colts players and cheerleaders to help pack ONE MILLION meals for Indiana’s hungry. 

Today, we learn all about the Million Meal Movement with Founder Nancy Hintz. 

About: 

The 8th annual Million Meal Marathon, the signature event of the Indianapolis non-profit Million Meal Movement and presented by the Indianapolis Colts, will bring together more than 3,000 community members with the intent of packing 1 million nutritious meals for Indiana’s hungry in a single day. 
 
When: Tuesday, November 13, 9 a.m. – 8 p.m., News Conference 8:30 a.m. with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, Midwest Food Bank’s John Whitaker and Million Meal Movement’s founders. 
 
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium
 
Additional Information: Volunteers work in four two-hour shifts, alongside Indianapolis Colts players and cheerleaders, to hand-package nutritious meals for hungry Hoosiers. Meal packs include 21 essential vitamins and minerals, a blend of six dehydrated vegetables, enriched soy with 52 percent protein and 10 vitamins, plus white, high-quality rice, and can be prepared by just adding boiling water. During the Million Meal Marathon, volunteers will add the dry ingredients to plastic bags, weigh, seal and box them in teams of 10-12.

Meals packed will be distributed to food banks in Indiana to feed the one in five Hoosier children who are food insecure and their families. Midwest Food Bank and Gleaners will pick-up the packaged meals throughout the day to deliver to their Indianapolis warehouses, where they will then be distributed to food pantries across the state.

Organization Information: The Million Meal Marathon is a program of Million Meal Movement, a humanitarian food aid organization that feeds the hungry at home while teaching our children and communities the power of volunteerism. Launched in 2007, the organization has provided nearly 29 million life-saving, highly nutritious meals to hungry families in Indiana and around the world, all packaged by volunteers. In Indiana alone, 1 million people don’t know where they’ll get their next meal.
