Hello Community Members!
It is that time of year again...time for beautiful Spring weather (still waiting on that) and fun 5k races! What is better than running or walking a 5k on a gorgeous day in May with your friends and family, all while helping to raise money for the Vermont Foodbank???
Please consider participating in the 4th annual Hearts for Hunger 5k/1k Fun Run and Walk! Gather your friends and family, get a group together, make a team and wear great costumes, whatever you want, just come to CVU on May 21, 2016 and join us! There is a 1k Kids Fun Run before the 5k Walk and Run. ALL proceeds from this event (think race registration, T-shirt sales, donations, etc.) will be given to the Vermont Foodbank Backpack Program. This nationally recognized program of Feeding America strives to bring meals to food-insecure Vermont youth at times when other resources, like school breakfast and lunch, are not available, such as weekends and school vacations. If you would like to learn more about the Backpack Program, I encourage you to visit http://www.vtfoodbank.org/OurPrograms/YouthPrograms/BackPackProgram.aspx.
To register online, find detailed race information, see this year's T-Shirt design (on a Dry-wick tecnology fabric), or make a donation go to https://heartsforhunger5k.webconnex.com/2016.
If you are not able to participate this year but you are interested in making a donation (Thank you!) please get in touch for donation options! Also, if you helped us spread the word we would be very appreciative!
In our first year we raised $3,800...then $4,500 in our second year. In 2015 we donated an incredible $6,800 to the Backpack Program! We were ecstatic with our success last year, and because of our fundraising the Vermont Foodbank has been able to expand this program to more elementary schools.
Thank you very much for your support!
