Ep. 12 Revving Up Kindness: Hells Angels and the Fight Against Hunger with Chef Tony

Send us a text

The Hells Angels give back in Hampton Roads. Tune in to hear from Chris Tan, the President and CEO of the Food Bank of Virginia, as he joins Chef Tony and KC to talk about a truly heartwarming collaboration. We look beyond the stereotypes to explore how the Hells Angels are making a tangible impact on food insecurity, especially during the Mayflower Marathon, a crucial 54-hour fundraising event that supplies areas of Virginia and North Carolina with nearly 50% of the food needed for the ENTIRE year. This partnership exemplifies the power of collective action and community spirit.
We'll navigate through the challenges and triumphs of this unique alliance, spotlighting the dedication of the Hells Angels and other motorcycle clubs in leading this charitable charge. Despite often being misunderstood, their efforts underscore a genuine commitment to community service. With the support of organizations like FM99, Kroger, and Hampton Roads Moving and Storage, these initiatives have grown into a large-scale operation that stretches much further than the holiday season, addressing a year-round need for food and necessities.
As we reflect on the critical role of community involvement, we also share ideas for expanding these efforts. From hosting golf tournaments to culinary banquets, there's a focus on blending culinary arts with community service. The episode wraps up with a call to action, encouraging listeners to transform negativity into positive community support, emphasizing that every contribution helps make a difference in tackling hunger and food insecurity. Join us in being part of the solution.
And if you see the Hells Angels at Kroger collecting food, go up and say hey.
