12:30 PM to 3:00 PM

Have you ever wondered where your next meal is coming from?

There are many people in the Cowichan Valley who wake every morning and ask this question.

Because of generous donations from the community, the Foodbank is a place where the hungry can be fed.

In an average month, the local organization serves 3200 bowls of soup, 2300 sandwiches and supplies 420 hampers.  This amazing charity, assisted by many volunteers, relies solely on donations from people like you and me, so let’s pitch in and help those who are less fortunate ….. and have fun doing it!

The Fun Run has something for everyone:

If you are in your senior years, or if you are a young family, join Penny the Owl for an easy stroll with your pooch in the Family Walk
If you are as fit as a fiddle, join us in the 5km Run for God
If you have difficulty walking, join us as a spectator and Cheer on the Troops

Remember ….. these are not races and the real winner is the local Foodbank

You can register for the Family Walk or the Run for God at the event on Nov 22.

Registration is $10 / entrant; $20 / family
Bring non-perishable food items and we’ll build a huge Christmas hamper for the Foodbank.  You can check out their website at cvbs.ca for preferred items

Our goal is to raise $4,000 and collect 500 non-perishable food items
