The 2015 Fresh Bite 5K

The Fresh Bite 5k is an opportunity for people who love to run or walk to turn out for a cause: ending hunger. About 600 economically-distressed families seek out the Weymouth Food Pantry each month to help make ends meet. While the economy has improved for some, those at the bottom are still experiencing a lot of challenges. Ensuring nobody goes hungry is a necessity. Ensuring everyone is has healthy food to eat is our goal.

 

The opposite of hungry isn't full-- it's healthy

 

With your help, we'll not only be able to make sure everyone's fed well, but we'll be able to educated families about healthy eating habits. The Fresh Bite 5k takes place on November 1st at 9:00 a.m. (check-in will be open from 8:00am - 8:45 a.m.) at  DCR Wompatuck State Park. With the paved trail ready for tennis shoes, strollers, and paws, the day's sure to be a lot of fun.
