The 13th Annual Mayflower Marathon Food Drive is now under way until 3pm, Sunday, November 22. We are teaming up again with our sister station 106.9 The Fox to make this year's Mayflower Marathon bigger than ever! Check out pictures of this year's Marathon.
 Donations will be accepted around the clock at 2 locations. In Virginia Beach, we'll be in the Pembroke Mall parking lot (just outside of Kohl's on the Virginia Beach Blvd. side/directions). All items collected will benefit the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia.
On the peninsula, we'll be set up in the Sam's Club/Wal-Mart parking lot in Newport News (off of Jefferson Ave./directions). The Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula is the recipient of all of the donations collected there.
Last year, 1 out of every 5 people living in Southeastern Virginia looked to the Foodbank for assistance. Please help us make a difference! We will be accepting non-perishable food items, frozen turkeys, and cash.
A 20 dollar donation will also get you a Mayflower Marathon T-shirt (while they last).
The 13th Annual Mayflower Marathon ends at 3pm Sunday afternoon.
While the Foodbanks will accept ALL donations, here is a list of what they need most: canned meat (beef, pork, chicken, tuna), soup, stew, chili, canned fruits and veggies, produce, milk, cheese, beans, rice, pasta, peanut butter, nutritious snacks, macaroni and cheese, diapers, toilet paper, and 100% fruit juice.
Thank you to New Bell Moving and Storage your “Atlas Van Lines Agent” for being a sponsor of this year's food drive. Also thanks to Honey Baked Ham of Virginia Beach, George Washington University and Pembroke Mall.
