GET READY FEST™ COLUMBUS, OHIO HELPING 800 FAMILIES
Oct 16, 2014
In the United States, hunger’s roots go deep and specifically in Columbus, Ohio where 22 percent of households live below the poverty level and are at risk of going to bed hungry. That’s why The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation and Teleperformance have partnered with Feed the Children to kick off “GET READY FEST” Columbus– an event that provided 800 pre-identified Columbus–area families in need with wellness resources, food and essentials. On October 17 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Get Ready Fest sponsors and volunteers met at Second Baptist Church at 186 N. 17th Street in Columbus to offer a number of activities and distributed food and personal essentials, as well as an overall day of fun for youth.

“My wife and I attended the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation’s Taste of New Orleans”. Malcolm and his wife were extremely gracious hosts. The food was provided by some of the city’s top restaurants. Also on hand were several of the Saints players. Malcolm and the players were very accommodating and patient with the Horde of fans who were present. The highlight of the evening was a young man who was a freshman at UNO, thanks to the mentoring and financial help from the foundation. A round of applause to Malcolm Jenkins; a son of New Jersey, a product of the great Ohio State University, a member of the Saints, and a genuinely fine example of a man. A great night for a great cause.”
