A MESSAGE FROM Kade Bulanadi's Fundraiser for #TeamPantry
Hey everyone! The Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry has been given the wonderful opportunity to become a recognized partner for the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon! While raising funds for our 501(c)(3) nonprofit food pantry that presently feeds ~10,000 people a month we also try to empower the research that the McCourt Foundation does to cure neurological diseases! With the current uncertainty of SNAP benefits and rising costs of living, the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry help to alleviate the stress
My own running journey has been a bit unconventional. I ran track and cross country for all four years of high school, but I took a four-year hiatus before I was convinced to run the 2025 Los Angeles Marathon. Since I have begun running the longer disciplines, I have run 2 half marathons and 3 full marathons. I count myself incredibly grateful every single day that I have an able body. It is a privilege to move, and it means the world to me to provide solace to others in any way that I can. Through our food pantry, we are able to positively impact so many different members of our community by putting food on their tables.
No donation is too small. Every single cent goes directly to our mission of addressing food insecurity in our community and feeding those in need. From all walks of life such as working families facing uncertainty, senior citizens, college students and of course the unhoused population, no individual should go hungry. Any support is greatly appreciated! #TeamPantry
