Jess Kurti |
Foodshare is an official charity of Saturday’s NU Hartford
Marathon, and we were visited by an out-of-town guest. Jess Kurti
is in town today from Florida to run the marathon and called Foodshare to
volunteer. Jess is a hunger advocate who is in the process of
accomplishing two amazing goals: 1) running a marathon in all 50 states,
and 2) volunteering at all 200 food banks in the Feeding America network.
To date, she’s made it to more than 40 food banks and run marathons in nearly
40 states! By combining her two passions, Jess is promoting a healthy
lifestyle while bringing awareness to the issue of hunger in America. We
loved learning about her experiences, and Jess agreed to be an official member
of the Foodshare marathon team. See you Saturday!!
If you’re interested in volunteering with Foodshare, please
