Come join us in Prospect Park for our 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk to raise awareness and support for CHIPS. This year, the race theme is "SUPERHEROS" - run in your best superhero costume and compete for the best costume award!
Since 1971, CHIPS has been a community of Brooklyn neighbors, volunteers, and friends who help those who are less fortunate. We prepare over 100,000 nutritious meals per year and serve them to the needy in a caring and respectful environment. In addition to meals, we offer seasonal clothing and distribute pantry bags each Friday, to those in need.
In addition, the Frances Residency Program provides transitional homes for nine prenatal and postpartum homeless women and their infants. The women can stay up to twelve months while they are working toward self-reliance and the acquisition of permanent housing.
Amenities: Participants will receive a souvenir shirt and an awards will go to the top male and female runners as well as the male and female with the best superhero costume.
