Why We Marathon6 Jul 2021

Episode 16: Jonathan Flores

Jonathan Flores is the host of the podcast Run with Purpose and Executive Director of Hangry, a registered 501(c)(3) charity that exists for two reasons. First, we build programs and events to help support those dealing with the issue of hunger. From hosting fundraising events to community meals, we want to be the hands and feet on the ground tackling the issue head-on. According to the USDA’s latest report on Food Insecurity (link) 35.2 million people live in food-insecure households in 2019. This is unacceptable and we can all do our part. We will partner with organizations on the ground already making a difference and come alongside them for a greater impact

This fits into our second purpose. We provide education and resources to the general public to make them aware of the issue of hunger right in your community. Hunger is not just an issue that the homeless deal with. Hunger is not an issue for those living in the inner-city. The reality for many families is that they do not have access to proper nutrition and for some, they are just one paycheck away from not being able to put food on the table. This is unacceptable and we need to do something about it. From sharing information on our website and social media accounts to providing ideas for things you can do daily to make an impact, we will equip you with the tools necessary to help fight the issue of hunger.

Jonathan is also trying to run a marathon in all 50 states and tracks his progress on his blog.
