I’m Here for the Food (Pantry) 5k
Christus Victor Lutheran Church organizes a community 5K run and related activities at Busse Woods (Grove #32) in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The event supports the Christus Victor Food Pantry, which serves over 60 families each week by providing nonperishable and perishable food, personal care products, and winter items such as hats and gloves. Funds remaining after event expenses will go to the food pantry and the church.
The event format includes:
- 5K chip-timed run or walk
- Children’s untimed free race
Additional features described by the organizer include a DJ, a cookout following the event, activities for children, and a collection box for food donations. A raffle to benefit the food pantry is held during September at Christus Victor Lutheran Church; there will be no raffle activity at the 5K due to Busse Woods rules.
Registration details noted by the organizer include a registration fee for 5K participants and an option for nonparticipants to register. Registration for 5K participants includes a t-shirt; nonparticipants may add a t-shirt for an additional fee. A family price for four people and an early bird pricing period are also mentioned.
