Help Us End Food Insecurity, One Step At A Time!

Since we launched Neighborfood Express in November 2020, the program has grown in ways we could never imagine! What started out as a simple hunger relief effort has evolved into a community-wide initiative, lifting dozens of kids and families permanently out of food insecurity each week.

About The Program

Through Neighborfood Express, we currently provide 2000+ lbs of free, healthy groceries to more than 500 individuals each week, as well as free essential supplies and social work support, through the efforts of our amazing social work team:

All our weekly deliveries are made by our incredible, ever-growing volunteer family:

And none of the work we do would be possible without the support of our invaluable community partners:

Our ultimate goal for Neighborfood Express is to lift thousands of individuals and families permanently out of food insecurity by helping them achieve long-term self-sufficiency, and we work hard towards fulfilling that goal each week:

We've got even bigger plans for the program in the months and years to come - but we can't do it without you!

How You Can Help

To help support our ongoing efforts through Neighborfood Express, please join the program's 2nd annual virtual 5K! You can participate simply by walking, running, or jogging in your own neighborhood.

The registration fee for the event is $35. If you're an individual participant, to pay the fee, please click the "Donate" button, choose "One-time," and enter "$35.00" to remit the funds - and don't forget your free T-shirt! (https://neighborfoodexpress.org/5k-t-shirt-form)

If you'd like to create your own race team, please click "Join The Campaign" button and follow the instructions for more info. After you've created your team, please direct your fellow team members/supporters to your page, where they can pay their registration fees and/or make general donations.  

Special prizes will be given to the teams with the most participants, fastest times, those who raise the most funds, and more! 

The deadline for virtual event participation is midnight (EDT) on Friday, October 21st. To join in the fun, you can simply time yourself walking, running, or jogging the 5K distance (3.1 miles) anywhere you'd like. Whether a walk around the neighborhood with your family or a jog on the treadmill at your gym, you can participate from wherever you are! 

Once you complete your walk/run, you can share your time on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter (you may want to use distance tracking apps like Strava, Pacer, Couch to 5K, etc.), along with pics and/or video, with the hashtag #NeighborfoodExpress5K. If you're participating as a team, you can also report your time(s) on your team page. For further assistance, please contact [email protected]. We can't wait to see your progress!
