About Neighborhood Services Inc.

We are hosting the 7th Annual Hunger Run 5K in support of Neighborhood Services Inc. (NSI), a local food pantry and resource center located right here in Columbus, Ohio. Our goal is to spread awareness about hunger and food insecurity in central Ohio, bring the community together, and raise money for Neighborhood Services Inc.

• Food Insecurity: 13.5% of Franklin County residents are food insecure.
• Children Impacted: Nearly 1 in 5 Ohio children live in food-insecure households.
• Historical Context: NSI was started in 1965 through the workings of 12 different churches.
• Community Services: NSI provides food pantry, produce market, rent and utility assistance.

Impact of the Hunger Run

In 2025, NSI served 760,089 meals to 50,393 individuals! This FUNdraiser has the ability to help feed even more well-deserving families and Columbus residents who are in need. We would love for you to join us in person (or virtually, if preferred) this May. Sign up today to walk or run, have some fun, and help race hunger out of Columbus!
