Event summary

Join us for the 11th Annual Milk Run 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at Ramseys Farm in Wilmington, New Castle. This exciting event is not only a fun-filled day for families and friends but also a wonderful opportunity to support important local causes. All net proceeds from the race will benefit the Ministry of Caring's Milk for Children Fund, the Food Bank of Delaware's Backpack Program, and initiatives to promote agricultural literacy through the Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation.

Over the past decade, the Milk Run has successfully raised more than $200,000 to help provide nutritious meals to those in need, serving around 500 meals daily to hungry individuals in the community. This year, help us continue the tradition of giving and education as we aim to further support at-risk children and promote awareness of where our food comes from. Lace up your shoes and join us for a day of community spirit, health, and giving back!

Organiser's description

ON SATURDAY, MAY 18, 2024, THE DELAWARE FARM BUREAU FOUNDATION IS HOSTING THE 11TH ANNUAL 5K MILK RUN/WALK AT RAMSEYS FARM IN WILMINGTON, DE. ALL NET PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE MINISTRY OF CARINGS MILK FOR CHILDREN FUND, THE FOOD BANK OF DELAWARE BACKPACK PROGRAM, AND THE DELAWARE FARM BUREAU FOUNDATIONS EFFORTS TO ADVANCE AGRICULTURAL LITERACY.

THE MINISTRY OF CARING IN WILMINGTON SERVES ABOUT 500 NUTRITIOUS MEALS AT NO COST TO NEEDY AND HUNGRY MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN DAILY, WITH MILK BEING JUST ONE OF THEIR OFFERINGS AT THE TABLE. THE FOOD BANK OF DELAWARES BACKPACK PROGRAM PROVIDES FOOD FOR AT-RISK CHILDREN ON THE WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN SESSION.

WE ARE THRILLED TO SAY WE HAVE RAISED OVER $200,000 IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OF THE EVENT. WHILE OUR SUCCESS HAS SET THE BAR HIGH, WE HOPE TO KEEP THAT NUMBER GROWING. PROCEEDS FROM THE EVENT SUPPORT DELAWAREANS FROM ACROSS THE STATE AND HELP THEM TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AGRICULTURE AND FROM WHERE THEIR FOOD ORIGINATES.

PLEASE JOIN US IN THIS WORTHY CAUSE BY DONATING TO HELP CONTINUE TO PROVIDE MILK AND FOOD FOR THESE CHILDREN.
