This is the 3rd Annual Fundraiser Run/Walk 5K. This is a two tier event that benefits Kids Against Hunger. The first tier is a 5K run/walk to raise funds for the raw materials needed for Kids Against Hunger's patented feed pack. The first tier of last year's event provided enough funds to pay for 20,000 meals for starving children in Haiti. The second tier of the fundraiser is a packing event in which we personally pack these meals.
The mission of Kids Against Hunger, a humanitarian food-aid organization, is to significantly reduce the number of hungry children in the USA and to feed starving children throughout the world. The organization’s approach to achieving its goal – the eradication of world hunger – includes the packaging of a highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole by volunteers at numerous locations worldwide.
