Northern Illinois Food Bank's Fight Hunger 5K I 10K I 1-Mile

Although fundraising is optional, Fight Hunger is a pledge-based event, and we are grateful for participants who choose to raise funds to support our mission. Thanks to our friends at US Foods, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000, so now is the perfect time to aim high.

Every dollar you raise helps provide meals for neighbors facing hunger across our service area. Ready to reach your goal? Click HERE for tools and tips to help you get started and maximize your impact.
