Bust a Crust! Pie-K 5K Run/Walk

BUST A CRUST! Pie-K 5K Run/Walk

Our second annual Bust a Crust! Pie-K 5K supports Meals on Wheels' mission to provide home delivered meals, senior services and pet support to 10,000+ seniors so they can live safely and comfortably at home. Food remains at the heart of what we do. Each year, we deliver 1.4 million meals throughout 4 Ohio and 8 Kentucky counties. We have a menu of 24+ items and prepare 4,000 meals in our restaurant-grade kitchen daily. We are supported by a diverse staff of 150 team members and a dedicated army of 1,200 volunteers.  We are leading the fight for senior hunger with innovative programs.

Our Pie-K 5K kicks off our signature fundraising event Bust a Crust! 2022 in which we sell Thanksgiving pies to raise money to support our important work for seniors.
