What is Kicking Hunger?

Kicking Hunger was started in 2012 by Mariemont kicker Hans Hinebaugh when he returned from a mission trip where he saw extreme poverty for the first time. Hans came home determined to make a difference by feeding and caring for the homeless and hungry in his own city. He asked friends, family, and businesses to donate money for each point he scored as the kicker on the Mariemont football team. Other kickers have since joined the effort, and in six years, more than $38,000 has been raised. That’s enough to provide a meal and care for more than 19,000 people!

Says Mariemont head coach Kurry Commins: “I feel it is our responsibility, as leaders of young people, to help them, especially when they show great character and initiative. Helping the less fortunate can be life-changing. At Mariemont, we believe in service above self, of paying it forward. I believe all schools, coaches and administrators have the same mission. Join us in making a difference in the kids’ lives and the lives of those in need.”
