Run to Feed the Hungry

You know what’s totally cool?

Sacramento is home to the largest Thanksgiving Day fun run in the country. For 29 years, runners have basted the turkey and popped it in the oven before heading out to participate in Run to Feed the Hungry with nearly 30,000 other Sacramentans. All proceeds from the race support our work at Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services.

Due to the pandemic, rising costs of living and other factors, the number of people experiencing hunger in Sacramento County continues to increase dramatically. Many families - some for the first time - are having to choose between rent, gas, medicine and putting food on the table. Our neighbors are hurting, and over 250,000 of them are turning to Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services and our network of 120 partner agencies for groceries each month. We are on pace to distribute over 35 million pounds of food this year, an increase of 25% over the 28 million pounds distributed before the pandemic.
