00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.906
>> SO, GROWING UP CONSTANTLY
WORKING TO GVE BACK TO OTHERS,
IT MADE US MORE AWARE FROM A
MUCH YOUNGER AGE THAN PERHAPS

2
00:00:06.906 --> 00:00:19.018
SOME THAT WE DID GROW UP VERY
PRIVILEGED. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT HAVING FOOD FOR
DINNER, GOING TO BED HUNGRY.

3
00:00:19.018 --> 00:00:23.089
>>
THAT'S JESSICA HINTZ ON HOW SHE
LEARNED TO EMBRACE THE NEEDS OF
THE COMMUNITY WHEN SHE WAS JUST

4
00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:30.930
A LITTLE GIRL.
>> JESSICA'S MOM, NANCY WAS
FEEDING HER YOUNGER BROTHER ALEX
YEARS AGO WHEN SHE SAW SOMETHING

5
00:00:30.930 --> 00:00:37.871
ON TV ABOUT HUNGER THAT STRUCK A
CHORD AND PROMPTED HER AND HER
FAMILY TO FORM THE MILLION MEAL
MOVEMENT, AN ORGANIZATION THAT

6
00:00:37.871 --> 00:00:45.645
PACKS MEALS AND SENDS THEM TO
THOSE SUFFERING FROM FOOD
INSECURITY.
THE NEED IS HUGE-ONE MILLION

7
00:00:45.645 --> 00:00:52.051
HOOSIERS STRUGGLE WITH HUNGER,
INCLUDING ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN.
THE SIGNATURE EVENT FOR THE
ORGANIZATION IS THE MILLION MEAL

8
00:00:52.051 --> 00:00:59.759

VERY DIFFERENT LOOK THIS YEAR

NANCY, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

10
00:01:08.868 --> 00:01:17.610
>> THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME,
IT'S EXCITING TO BE HERE.
>> THIS IS REALLY A WONDERFUL
STORY, A STORY OF GROWTH,

11
00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:24.384
PHILANTHROPIC EFFORT. FIRST OF
ALL, JUST TO TEE THINGS UP,
NANCY, WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT
HUNGER IN INDIANA, AND THE

12
00:01:24.384 --> 00:01:32.425
DRAMATIC SITUATION FACING A LOT
OF FAMILIES, A LOT OF
INDIVIDUALS. THE PANDEMIC IS
REALLY UNDERSCORES THAT,

13
00:01:32.425 --> 00:01:40.467
CORRECT?
>> ABSOLUTELY. SO, OUR FOOD
PARTNERS, ARE SEEING AN
UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND FOR FOOD,

14
00:01:40.467 --> 00:01:49.442
TWO TO THREE TIMES THAT OF WHAT
THEY TYPICALLY SEE. AND FEEDIN
AMERICA IS ESTIMATING THAT WELL
OVER 17 MILLION ADDITIONAL

15
00:01:49.442 --> 00:01:59.185
PEOPLE WILL FIND THEMSELVES FOOD
INSECURE IN THE COMING DAYS. SO
ABOUT FOR EVERY FIVE PEOPLE THAT
WOULD COME TO A FOOD BANK, TWO

16
00:01:59.185 --> 00:02:08.261
OF THOSE FAMILIES ARE THERE FOR
THE VERY FIRST TIME. SO THE
NEED, UNFORTUNATELY, IS GREAT.
>> WOW. YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND

17
00:02:08.261 --> 00:02:14.834
FOUNDED THE MILLION MEAL
MOVEMENT 13 YEARS AGO, SO IT'S
BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY. AS YOU
LOOK AT THE GROWTH OF THE

18
00:02:14.834 --> 00:02:20.540
PROGRAM, IT'S TYPICALLY A
ONE-DAY EVENT, RIGHT?
WHERE YOU BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE
TOGETHER AT LUCAS OIL STADIUM.

19
00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:30.683
TALK ABOUT WHAT A TYPICAL EVENT
IN TERMS OF THE MILLION MEAL
MARATHON HAS BEEN LIKE.
>> SO, THE MARATHON IS OUR

20
00:02:30.683 --> 00:02:39.225
SIGNATURE EVENT. WE HAVE WELL
OVER 100 EVENTS A YEAR. BUT FOR
THE MARATHON, WE GATHER TOGETHER
WELL OVER 2,000 VOLUNTEERS, AND

21
00:02:39.225 --> 00:02:48.801
THAT'S DUE TO OUR CORPORATE
SPONSORS LIKE THE COLTS,
EDUCATION, AS WELL AS STANLEY,
AND WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL AGES

22
00:02:48.801 --> 00:02:57.644
AND ABILITIES TO COME NORMALLY
TO LUCAS OIL STADIUM IN ONE DAY,
AND STRIVE TO PACKAGE A MILLION
MEALS. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, OUR

23
00:02:57.644 --> 00:03:08.021
GOAL IS TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.
AND SO WE HAVE STRETCHED OUT THE
MARATHON OVER A MONTH-LONG
PERIOD. AND SO WE HAVE 40

24
00:03:08.021 --> 00:03:17.430
PACKAGING EVENTS SCHEDULED
THROUGHOUT THE MONTH, BUT
THEY'RE MUCH SMALLER EVENTS, AND
THEY'RE AT OUR LOCATION, AND WE

25
00:03:17.430 --> 00:03:25.438
EMPLOY SOCIAL DISTANCING
MEASURES IN ORDER TO KEEP
EVERYONE SAFE. AND SO WE HAVE
SCHOOLS AS WELL AS COMPANIES,

26
00:03:25.438 --> 00:03:31.778
EMPLOYEES, AND FAMILIES GATHER,
AND STILL BE ABLE TO PACKAGE
THOSE ONE MILLION MEALS.
>> YEAH, SO, AGAIN, THE EVENT

27
00:03:31.778 --> 00:03:39.852
THIS YEAR IS OCTOBER 13th
THROUGH NOVEMBER 7 AT THESE
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. NANCY, AS
YOU LOOK BACK ON THIS AND

28
00:03:39.852 --> 00:03:46.893
REFLECT, YOU LOOK AT THE IMPACT
YOU'VE, THE AMAZING IMPACT THAT
YOU HAVE HAD REGARDING HUNGER
HERE IN INDIANA. WHEN YOU

29
00:03:46.893 --> 00:03:55.735
STARTED THIS, THAT YOU WOULD
CREATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE
SO SUBSTANTIAL.
>> HONESTLY, I HAD A PASSION FOR

30
00:03:55.735 --> 00:04:05.678
IT, AND I WAS JUST REALLY HOPING
THAT THERE WOULD BE OTHERS WHO
WOULD SEE THE AMAZING IMPACT
THAT IT CAN MAKE, NOT ONLY IN

31
00:04:05.678 --> 00:04:16.589
BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS THE NEED
OF HUNGER, BUT ALSO TO BE ABLE
TO FOSTER THE SENSE OF
VOLUNTEERISM IN YOUTH, AND

32
00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:25.365
REALLY ANYONE OF ANY AGE,
PARTICULARLY WHAT I LOVED ABOUT
IT IS YOU CAN HAVE ALL AGES AND
ALL ABILITIES COME TOGETHER TO

33
00:04:25.365 --> 00:04:36.309
HELP SOMEONE ELSE. AND SO IT'S
PEOPLE WHO REALLY DID NOT HAVE
THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT NO
MATTER WHO THEY ARE, THEY CAN

34
00:04:36.309 --> 00:04:44.117
MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND TO
ACTUALLY SAY THAT LIGHT BULB GO
ON OVER THEIR HEAD AND REALIZE
THEY CAN MAKE AN IMPACT IS A

35
00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:49.322
VERY SPECIAL THING.
>> INDEED, THE MILLION MEAL
MARATHON, AND THE MOVEMENT
MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE, NANCY
