Cross the finish line, fill a cart with groceries, and give hunger a run for its money. The Stride to Provide is the fastest way to feed our neighbors. Every dollar raised produces four dollars’ worth of groceries.
More than 350 runners and walkers participated in our first Stride to Provide 5K, the largest 5K held at Duke Island Park. Watch the 2025 recap to see the crowd and preview the course before May 9th.
Every person you bring to our Stride to Provide 5K puts another $120 of groceries in a neighbor’s hands. Feeding Hands serves thousands of families in Somerset County every year, and the need is growing. The more people your team brings to the starting line, the more neighbors our community feeds.
Even if you can’t make it to the starting line on May 9th, you can still help Feeding Hands feed our neighbors. Use the posts, graphics, and messages below to spread the word on your social media, group chats, and email.

Hey [Name],
On May 9th, I’m participating in Feeding Hands’ Stride to Provide 5K at Duke Island Park. I’m going the extra mile to fight local hunger, and I’m asking for your support.
Feeding Hands serves Somerset County families with groceries and essentials. Every week, more families come through the doors hungry because rent and utility costs keep rising. Stride to Provide is how we can help stock our neighbors’ refrigerators.
Every dollar raised provides four dollars’ worth of food and essentials.
If you can make it on May 9th, register: feedinghandspantry.org/5K-signup
If you can’t, a donation to Feeding Hands goes just as far: feedinghandspantry.org/5K-donate
You can also set up a fundraising page and ask friends and family to give as one team: feedinghandspantry.org/5K-fundraise
The more people we can involve, the more families we can serve with care and dignity.
I hope you’ll support me at the starting line.
Thanks,
[Sender]
