What is Hunger vs Hunger?
Hunger vs Hunger began as a small fundraiser aimed at helping get people back on their feet during the worst of Covid in 2021. In just four years, I have raised over $390,000. I've grown from two sponsors, to over fifty. And yet, the need at the Bellingham Food Bank has more than tripled. On July 19th, 2024, I'll set out for the fourth time to burn as many calories in one day as possible to continue to raise awareness for the food insecurity that exists in Whatcom County.

​
Every dollar raised from this fundraiser goes directly to the Bellingham Food Bank. Currently, 20% of Whatcom County relies on a food bank every week. The Bellingham Food Bank spends more money on food and non-food items than any other Food Bank in Washington State. The Bellingham Food Bank is one of the highest rated non-profits, with a program expense ratio of 94%. I've been volunteering there since 2021 and can't express how important they are to so many people in our community. Any donation goes a long ways. Thank you all in advance.
​
P.S. Donations are getting matched by TWO sponsors, tripling your impact :)

Consider donating today.
