Run 5 Feed 5 - 5K

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

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. Our mission started in 2013 with the hope of raising money and awareness for the dire childhood hunger problem in our communities. Right now in North Carolina, one out of every four children is going hungry, and our goal is to fight that statistic!

📈 Our Impact

• Backpack Pals Program: We continue to fund the Backpack Pals program through COAT, who sends food home every Friday for local food insecure children.
• Summer Food 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 in their schools.

✨ Upcoming Event

100% of the proceeds from our fundraising go to efforts that provide for food insecure children in our local Preschools, Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. To raise money for these programs and provide food for hungry children, we are currently in the planning stages of our 12th Annual RUN 5 FEED 5, which will take place at Creekside Park on April 26, 2025 at 8am.
