Sprinting to Stop Hunger: Lace Up with Food for Others
Join Food for Others at our 11th Annual Tysons 5K & Fun Run in partnership with the Feed Series! Last year, we celebrated our largest 5K & Fun Run to date! This year promises to be even more unforgettable as we come together to support our neighbors.
In Fairfax County over 75,000 individuals struggle with food insecurity. Food for Others serves as part of Northern Virginia’s safety net by providing to our neighbors in need. Serving over 3,000 families and 3,900 children (Power Pack Program) a week we need your help raising awareness and supporting our work in the community.
