Grind Out Hunger is powered by kids, helping kids. We occasionally are approached by kids that want to take the extra step and join the Grind Out Hunger army. Santa Cruz native, Marissa Hushaw is a perfect example. Avid snowboarder, Marissa is ready to make a difference. She approached us a couple weeks ago explaining her passion for snowboarding and how she wants to find a way to use her talent to help kids in need in Santa Cruz County.
We took her request to the drawing board at the Grind Out Hunger headquarters and brainstormed ways that we could get her involved. We asked ourselves, why not blow this up? We have Marissa here wanting to join our army, so why not bring her in full speed? She’s an athlete, right? She can handle it.
And so we did just that. We created what we are currently calling the “Marissa Hushaw Campaign“. Marissa has her own web page on www.GrindOutHunger.org. She has a personal donation portal attached to her page, where you can donate to Grind Out Hunger through her campaign.
Her page will be updated with news, photos, and more!

Here is a quick note from Marissa, herself:
“Hey, it’s Marissa Hushaw!
I met up with Danny and Shawn about Grind Out Hunger a couple weeks ago. Did you know that 1 in 4 children go hungry in Santa Cruz County every day? I was honestly shocked to learn that right in my own town this is happening. I dont like it. So, I decided to step up and make a change. I teamed up with Grind Out Hunger to end this madness and make our community a better place to live in. If we can knock down those statistics so NO ONE goes hungry.
We can change the world. Slowly but surely, every donation counts.
So, lets Grind Out Hunger!”
Marissa’s winter goal is $1,000 by April 30th.

Welcome to the Grind Out Hunger family, Marissa!
We are excited to be teaming up with you to fight this war against hunger!
