We're partnering with A Simple Gesture for 2023's race month! From Wednesday, November 1 until Friday, November 17 (Greensboro Half Marathon's early packet pickup), sponsors HOKA and Fleet Feet will be hosting a food drive to benefit A Simple Gesture. You can drop off items at Fleet Feet Greensboro anytime between November 1-November 17 and you'll be entered into a raffle to win prizes from Fleet Feet, HOKA, & Greensboro Half Marathon/Trivium Racing!
In addition to the food drive, you also have the opportunity to make a donation to our charity partner though our website. If you make a financial donation, you will also be entered into the raffle.
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.
