Our NEW course will take you out of the parking lot into Meachum Grove Forest Preserve. The crushed gravel leads you around Maple Lake, along adjacent wetlands on Maple Lake Trail. North Central DuPage Regional Trail then brings you to a pedestrian bridge that carries you over Bloomingdale-Roselle Road through woodland groves, along the meandering Spring Brook Creek and through the Meacham Grove Nature Preserve.

The Race To Stop Hunger 5k started in 2015 and raises money for Kids Against Hunger-Illinois (formally Fox-Valley). This is our 10th annual race and through this event we have fed over 303,462 children in the last 9 years! Your registration dollars and donations buy the products we use at packing events and create the meals we send to the children and families. Our satellite has packed 5 million meals and going strong!
We are looking for a new facility to continue our packing events. We used to be at Stratford Square Mall, in Bloomingdale, which closed. We pack and ship to Chicagoland area as well as Nicaragua, and places in crisis who need immediate humanitarian relief. We have helped Ukraine, Turkey and Philippines since Covid and bring volunteers and funds together to package these meals and get them to those in need. We are a non-profit, volunteer driven, locally funded organization that packages dry, highly nutritious food for hungry kids and families around the world and around the corner.
