Run, walk, or bike to raise funds for Food Access

Share On Social!

San Antonio Food Bank is encouraging healthy living by encouraging runners, walkers, and bikers to use a phone app called Charity Miles.

How does it work? The app tracks the miles of the person walking, running, or biking and corporate sponsors donate towards the athletes charity of choice. The app allows those exercising to donate their miles completed towards food access to San Antonio (63.2% Latino), where many Latino families live without access to fresh foods.

1 mile running or walking equals .25 cents, biking gives .10 cents per mile.  Providing ways to help people donate to their favorite charities may help highly Latino populated cities like San Antonio to take advantage of free technology and get in more physical activity all while providing healthy foods and a local culture of health.
