Ugly Sweater 5K: A Fun Run to Support Macomb County Food Bank & Feeding America.
Sign up to receive our Ugly Sweater 5k sweater and lace up your running shoes for the Ugly Sweater 5K, a fun run benefiting Feeding America (virtual runners) and local food banks (local in-person runners)!
During the past two years, it has become clear that inflation and food prices are exacerbating hunger across America. According to a 2023 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2023 report, the number of people living in food insecure households in the U.S. in 2022 increased to 44 million. This is an increase of more than 30 percent for all individuals and 40 percent for children compared the previous year — the highest rate and number since 2014 and the largest one-year increase in food insecurity since 2008. (Greater Lansing Food Bank, 2023 Annual Report)
