ABOUT THE RACEThe Race:
Come out and support Greater Chicago Food Depository at The Glenview Turkey Trot. Run through Glenview in your favorite 5k and Kids Dash. It's the perfect family Thanksgiving tradition! The Glenview Turkey Trot is brought to you by Lato Athletic Events. We strive to give our participants an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The Glenview Turkey Trot features a 5k run/walk, kids dash and amazing goodie bag, which you will collect at packet pickup along with their race packet. The Cause: The Food Depository is part of a united community effort working to bring food, dignity and hope to our Cook County neighbors. We act as the hub for a network of more than 700 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs. These programs provide food where it’s most needed. We also address the root causes of hunger. Public benefits outreach and job training programs offer a hand up for our neighbors to overcome poverty. As the face of hunger in our community has changed, the Food Depository has evolved. Our programs address the specific needs of diverse groups, including children, older adults and veterans. By taking hunger off the table, we enable families to focus on other priorities, like education, growth and security. We enable communities to face their challenges with confidence. Today and in the long term, providing nutritious food is an investment in health and hope for our neighbors and our community. Learn more about how we make an impact on hunger every day. The Food Depository is a member of Feeding America, the national network of food banks. |
