GardenShare’s 7th Annual Fight Hunger 5K

Each September, we come together during Hunger Action Month for GardenShare’s annual 5k walk/run event. Last year, we were grateful to all who joined our virtual Fight Hunger Your Way version – and we are delighted to announce we will once again be holding an in-person 5K event!*

Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 19, 2021 for a fun afternoon at Parishville Center Orchard to help raise money for GardenShare’s food justice efforts. You won’t want to miss this beautiful new location for our 5K as we celebrate & strengthen our local food system, together!

Registration will open up in mid-August. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/wLBWQK5/enews

Stay tuned for more information! http://gardenshare.org/

*Notes: We will follow pertinent COVID-19 safety guidelines at the event. Virtual participation will be possible.
