GardenShare's Fight Hunger Fair & 5K is on Sunday, September 15th!

Canton-based non-profit GardenShare’s annual Fight Hunger Fair is on Sunday, September 15th in Canton Village Park! This event combines GardenShare’s annual 5K with the presentation of their 2024 Growing Community Award, and the Veggie Adventure Run - a 1 mile course for children featuring exciting activities based on different aspects of our local food system. The Fight Hunger Fair helps support GardenShare’s vital programming, including the Bonus Bucks Program which doubles the buying power of lower-income community members to purchase local food.

The Fight Hunger Fair will also feature educational games and activities centered around food system awareness, a story walk, and music, as well as tabling of community partners who strive to alleviate local hunger and food insecurity. All children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Day-of registration will open at 12:30pm and the 5K will begin just after 2pm.

Your registration and participation helps support GardenShare’s mission of increasing access to healthy, nutritious local food for our North Country neighbors. Sign up today to Fight Hunger, and consider maximizing your impact by asking family, friends, and co-workers to sponsor your participation!
