The Holy Half aims to make a difference in our community on behalf of the University of Notre Dame. We are proud to support the following organizations for the 2024 race. 

• Cultivate Food Rescue 

• Cultivate Food Rescue opened their doors in South Bend in 2016. The organization works to reduce hunger and food waste in northern Indiana by recovering excess food and redistributing it to schools, food pantries, and shelters. They lead perishable food rescue, education, and procurement to meet the nutritional needs of the community while also reducing waste.  They have made a lasting impact on our community by doing their best to alleviate hunger.

• Girls On The Run Michiana

• Girls on the Run Michiana (GOTRM) primarily serves the girls and families of five counties in north-central Indiana including St. Joseph County. Its mission is to inspire 3rd - 8th grade girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident through a fun, interactive curriculum that creatively integrates running. Through Girls on the Run, small groups of girls are mentored by trained volunteer coaches in a 10-week afterschool program that directly and concretely addresses issues girls face in early adolescence. The program culminates in a vibrant community-wide 5K downtown South Bend.
