Event Overview
Run 5 Feed 5 is a charity organization that hosts a 5K walk/run in the spring. This is the 13th annual edition of the event, which raises funds to feed hungry children. The event will take place at Creekside Park in Archdale, North Carolina.
Event Format
Participants can choose from three event types:
- 5K Run/Walk: A timed, in-person event.
- Virtual 5K: A remote participation option.
- Volunteer: An option to help at the event.
Charity Mission
The organization's mission, which began in 2013, is to raise money and awareness for childhood hunger. In North Carolina, one in four children is reported to be going hungry. All proceeds from the event go to programs that provide food for local children. These efforts include funding the Backpack Pals program, providing food deliveries during school breaks, offering school grants for lunch accounts, operating a food bank for schools, and running the Pack the Pantry Program, which delivers snack boxes to local schools.
