On Sunday, March 5, 2017, thousands of people will come together to raise awareness and funds to help fight hunger in our community. Our team will be there – and we need your support!

Hunger Walk/Run is one of the most important hunger relief efforts of the year. The money we raise will feed hope for the 1 in 5 people who face hunger in our community.

Please join us in supporting this important mission! Together, we can make sure that a child in our community doesn’t go to bed hungry tonight. We can offer a glimmer of hope to struggling parents desperately trying to make ends meet for their family. We can ensure another senior citizen isn’t forced to choose between paying for medicine or food.

As January draws to an end, it's time for us to focus the month of February on establishing a strong presence at the Atlanta Community Food Bank Hunger Walk/Run 2017, just as we did last year. The past couple years, the Atlanta Muslim community had the largest showing of any other group with 633 of us (represented by 29 unique mosques, schools and organizations) and we raised $29,000 in 2015 and $26,000 in 2016. Let's make 2017 our best year yet! I can't tell you how much of an impact this has had on our community and how much the ACFB has thanked us and appreciated our efforts. You can hardly find a picture of the Hunger Walk without a member of our community in it!

Looking to also unleash your competitive side? We have a trophy that will be awarded to the Team of the Year from the Muslim Community, based on the number of people recruited to their team.

Last year, Atlanta Muslim Running Club, Muslimahs Endure, Gwinnett Islamic Circle, & Roswell Community Masjid - RCM alone accounted for about 60% of our total community team! Let's see which organization takes the trophy home this year!
