All 5k participants are encouraged to donate food for our neighbors in need between now and race week. With the need brought by the pandemic, Second Harvest Food Bank now creates boxes of food for families. One box feeds a family of four for an entire week! Donate a box to a family in need today.
Together, we can fight hunger and feed hope in Central Florida by providing 150,000 meals for our neighbors in need!

The Christian Service Center’s Love Pantry strives to alleviate childhood hunger and food insecurity in Central Florida, as well as remove hunger as a barrier to learning. Children who are hungry can’t learn. It’s that simple. The Love Pantry program places an emergency food supply directly into Orange County and Seminole County Public Schools at no cost to the schools.
Each Love Pantry school is provided with a cabinet stocked with 23 common food items and 8 basic hygiene items, then, restocked weekly by volunteers throughout the semester.
Canned items that are especially needed:
Pop-top proteins (hearty soups, meats, tuna fish)
Pop-top fruits
Bottled water
Peanut butter
