Operating for over 30 years, Hamilton Food Share is the city’s Emergency Food Shipping and Receiving Hub.

Hamilton Food Share provides resources to 16 member agencies, operating 23 hunger-relief programs across the greater Hamilton region.

These emergency food programs support over 10,400 visits every month representing over 17,600 unique individuals, 34% of whom are children. Additionally, the hot meal programs supported by Hamilton Food Share are serving 29,000 hot meals each month to our neighbours in need.

A $1 donation will provide $5 worth of nutritious food to our community. Your support will ensure our most vulnerable neighbours, like the 6,050 children and 1,668 seniors who line up at a food bank each month, have access to the nutritious food they need.

Non-perishable food items will also be collected at the race!

McMaster Children’s Hospital is home to the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Canada. We are the only Level 3 Nursery in our region, providing the highest level of specialized care for babies with complex and critical illnesses. Last year the hospital supported over 4,000 births with approximately 1,500 requiring specialized NICU care. For many premature babies and critically ill newborns, McMaster Children's Hospital’s NICU is the first home they will ever know. These vulnerable infants, some small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, often need breathing support and specialized care for a whole host of complications. They may spend weeks or months in hospital, their families anxiously by their side. Through the generous contributions of donors and community supporters from across the region, we are able to invest in medical equipment that is urgently needed to care for our tiniest patients. McMaster Children’s Hospital relies on the support of our community to replace and purchase life-saving patient equipment.
