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.

Join us for Miles for a Mission, a family friendly 5K that brings our community together to support Run 5 Feed 5 and help fight childhood hunger. This meaningful event supports vital programs including Pack the Pantry, Summer Feeding, and Christmas Feeding, all focused on ensuring local children have access to food year-round. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps fuel a mission that truly matter.

Every school in our community has a pantry to help ensure that no child goes hungry. These pantries provide food for students who may come to school without breakfast or lunch, can’t afford a meal, or need extra food to take home for the weekend.
Pack the Pantry is our program dedicated to keeping those shelves full. Each month, our volunteers pick up boxes of food and deliver them to 42 local schools across Randolph County—helping make sure every child has access to the nourishment they need to learn and thrive.
When school is out, many children lose access to regular meals. To bridge that gap, our Summer & Christmas Feeding Program delivers food boxes directly to the homes of more than 500 food-insecure children in our community.
Every two weeks during school breaks, volunteers pick up boxes from the pantry containing two weeks’ worth of food and deliver them to families who might otherwise go without. Together, we help ensure that children continue to have nutritious meals even when school cafeterias are closed.
We proudly support the Backpack Pals program, organized by COAT (Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity). Through this partnership, bags of food are sent home every Friday with local children in need—providing them with essential meals to get through the weekend.
