The Hunger Run

🏃‍♀️ The Hunger Run Overview

Please join us on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at our NEW location of Highbanks Metro Park to participate in The Hunger Run 5K and help chase hunger out of Central Ohio!

🤝 About Neighborhood Services Inc.

We are hosting the 6th Annual Hunger Run 5K in support of Neighborhood Services Inc. (NSI), a local food pantry and resource center located right here in Columbus, Ohio. Our goal is to spread awareness about hunger and food insecurity in central Ohio, bring the community together, and raise money for Neighborhood Services Inc.

📊 Hunger Statistics
