Help Support A Cause That's 2nd 2 None . . .

The 2nd 2 None 5K Run & Walk, a collaborative effort between Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry and Communities In Schools, raises funds to support the Food for Thought Program and other programs that help feed Aurora children at risk of hunger.

Adequate nutrition is extremely important to every school-aged child's ability to develop properly, stay healthy, and learn well in school.

In Aurora schools, 19,000 children are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch because their family income is inadequate to meet all of their basic needs, including their need for adequate nutrition. Families who struggle to put food on the table find it even more difficult during summer vacation, when children are out of school and school lunches are not available. Many of their children go hungry over the summer.

Hunger has devastating consequences for children who experience it. Children who do not have regular access to adequate food are more likely to be obese, have poor health, suffer more and longer illnesses, perform poorly in school, and exhibit behavioral problems.

Join us on Raceday or choose one of the other ways that you can support the Food for Thought Program, and help put an end to childhood hunger.
