2025 Gleaners 5K Race

🏃‍♂️ About the Race

Gleaners Community Food Bank is excited to announce the 2025 Hunger Free Summer 5K Run and Walk! With the support of our incredible community, Gleaners continues to work toward our mission of creating a food-secure Southeast Michigan.

🍽️ Impact

• Need: When school is out, many children lose access to the meals they rely on.
• Mission: The Hunger Free Summer campaign helps bridge that gap.
• Meals Provided: Gleaners can provide 3 meals for every dollar donated.
• Match: Thanks to a match from Citizens and other generous donors, for every dollar raised through run registrations or donations, Gleaners can provide six meals to families facing hunger.
