The Mayflower Marathon is an annual food drive in Hampton Roads that collects donations to help families in need. The 26th Mayflower Marathon was hugely successful, collecting enough food to provide over 730,000 meals to families throughout the region.

Bud's is proud to sponsor this event and contributes our own donations of turkeys, canned goods, and other nonperishable items. With support from our generous customers and team members, we're making a real difference. We're already committed to sponsoring again next year and hope to feed even more families. It's a wonderful way our community comes together to care for neighbors facing food insecurity.
