🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

• Organization: Run 5 Feed 5 is a 501c3 organization that hosts events throughout the year including a 5K walk/run in the Spring to fund programs that feed hungry children.
• Mission: Our mission started in 2013 with the hope of raising money and awareness for the dire childhood hunger problem in our communities.
• Current Statistics: Right now in North Carolina, one out of every four children is going hungry, and our goal is to fight that statistic!

🍎 Program Impact

• Backpack Pals Program: We continue to fund the Backpack Pals program through COAT, which sends food home every Friday for local food insecure children.
• Summer Delivery: For the past 9 years, we have provided food delivery during the summer and extended breaks to over 500 children locally that would otherwise go hungry.
• School Grants: We provide grants to schools in an effort to assist hungry children, including assistance with lunch accounts.
• Food Bank: In 2021, we opened a food bank that is open to all schools to visit and get snacks for hungry children.
