McMaster Children’s Hospital is home to the largest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Canada, providing specialized, round-the-clock care for more than 1,500 premature and critically ill newborns each year. With over 4,000 babies born annually at McMaster University Medical Centre, many require admission to the NICU, and some infants may spend weeks or even up to a year in hospital before they are strong enough to go home. These vulnerable newborns, some small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, often need breathing support, constant monitoring, and highly specialized medical care. Our dedicated care teams are passionately committed to giving these fragile patients the best possible start in life.
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!
