In case you don't know who we are ... Run 5 Feed 5 is a 501c3 organization that hosts events throughout the year to fund programs that feed hungry children as well as stock a pantry for local schools. We only utilize volunteers to carry out our mission and we are very grateful and blessed for every one of them. We also welcome any one or any company looking for sponsorship opportunities.

Run 5 Feed 5 is a 501c3 organization and relies heavily on our volunteers to plan, organize and hold events throughout the year to be able to fund programs that provide food boxes to food poor children in Randolph County. Two of our bigger events include a 5K walk/run in the Spring and in December we partner with SerCo of Archdale to hold the "Be the Light 5K" that coincides with the lighting of the the Christmas tree at Creekside Park.
Our mission started in 2014 with the hope of raising money and awareness for the childhood hunger problem in our communities. Right now, in North Carolina, 1 out of every 4 children go hungry. Most of these children only get the nutrition they need when they are at school. Because of that, we currently offer grants for schools to buy lunch or snacks for children who would otherwise go without.
PACK THE PANTRY
Each school has a pantry that helps provide food for children that might show up to school hungry, without lunch, can't afford lunch or might need food for the weekend. Pack the Pantry is a program that fills those pantries of 42 local schools in Randolph County. Our volunteers pick up food boxes once a month and delivers them to the schools.
SUMMER & CHRISTMAS FEEDING
Because of the food insecurities in the homes of children, during the summer & Christmas breaks our volunteers deliver food boxes to over 500 food insecure children in the community on a bi-monthly basis. Our volunteers pick up 2 weeks worth of food from the pantry and delvers them to the homes of those children that are more likely to go without eating properly while not in school.
BACKPACK PALS
We continue to support the Backpack Pals program provided through COAT (Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity), who sends bags of food home every Friday for local food insecure children.
Chicken Noodle/Tomato soup, cereal bars, granola bars, Pop Tarts, Vienna sausage, can ravioli or Spaghettios, slim jims, fruit cups, lance crackers, rice crispy treats, box mac & cheese cups, ramen noodles, jelly, and 18 oz. peanut butter
