Today, leading health and well-being company, Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), announced the winners** of its 2022 Go365® National Step Challenge – a health and wellness competition that focuses on improving the fitness of employees from companies across the country. The National Step Challenge is a competition in which companies with two or more Go365® members compete for the highest team average step count. All winning teams receive a donation to their local Feeding America® member food bank in their name.
The 2022 challenge featured more than 32,000 participants from competing organizations that collectively logged 7.1 billion steps leading to the equivalent of one million meals** donated to Feeding America. The competition, which started in 2018, has helped to provide 5 million meals to Feeding America® over a five-year period. This year’s donations were made in December to make a more immediate impact to communities during the holiday season and winter months.
Participants competed based on a team average daily step count. The organizations competed by team size, ranging from the “Small” division with 2-10 members, to the “Jumbo” division with 100+ members. Depending on a team’s placement, meals were donated in the name of each winning team in sums of either 30,000, 15,000 or 5,000 meals. In total, sixty teams received donations in their local community where they are headquartered.
"Seeing members come together to better their own health and the health of their communities is inspiring," said Sue Schick, Segment President, Group and Military Business. "Through this challenge, members are helping to address food insecurity, adding to the millions of meals Humana has provided to Feeding America over the past five years."
“Nearly 34 million people, including more than 9 million children, face hunger in the U.S.,” said Lauren Biedron, vice president of corporate partnerships at Feeding America. “Feeding America is grateful to Humana and its National Step Challenge participants for their ongoing commitment to provide meals to communities across the country.”
Food insecurity, defined as the lack of access to enough nutritionally adequate foods to live an active, healthy life, contributes to poor health, lower productivity at work and higher medical costs. Feeding America® supports programs that prevent food waste and improve food security.
Participants could personally benefit, as well, through Points added to their Go365 account. Points were awarded for being a part of the challenge-related activity, as well as for logging daily step counts.
