This year’s event marks the 33rd running of the Race to Deliver 4M to Benefit God's Love We Deliver and is as important as ever in supporting the community. God’s Love We Deliver cooks and home-delivers nutritious, medically tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves.
With the help of thousands of volunteers, God’s Love We Deliver delivered more than 3.7 million medically tailored meals to nearly 15,000 individuals last year. All services are free to clients and full of love!
Registration is FREE and open to participants ages 2–11 of all abilities. Participants will receive a New Balance T-shirt (while supplies last).
