The Race Against Hunger works to fight hunger in the Greater Philadelphia area in more ways than one. The Race:

  • raises awareness of food insecurity in our area
  • raises funds to further our programs at the Coalition Against Hunger
  • allows our anti-hunger partners an opportunity to fundraise for their own programs.

This year we are excited to have 20+ anti-hunger partners, mostly comprised of food pantries and soup kitchens, joining us in the Race and raising funds for their programs. Thank you to all of these teams working so hard each day to help fight hunger in the Greater Philadelphia area! We are proud to work alongside them in this fight, and we are excited to work with them to create an even bigger impact, through the Race.

In previous years, our anti-hunger partners have used their dollars raised through the Race Against Hunger to:

  • purchase food for their programs or for their holiday meals
  • purchase supplies
  • purchase equipment, including shelving and even a refrigerated van
  • pay for equipment maintenance
  • fund their delivery programs 
  • distribute fresh organic produce to local feeding programs
  • and so much more!
