ACFB Hunger Walk/Run 5k

Since 1984, the Hunger Walk/Run has been an annual 5K/“fun run” of The Atlanta Community Food Bank and its Benefiting Partners (including the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta).

How it Works:

Proceeds benefit the ACFB and other local nonprofits, programs, and ministries focused on hunger relief. These Benefiting Partner organizations help recruit participants and receive a percentage of the funds raised to support their direct hunger relief programs.

Register as part of the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta.

  • As a benefiting partner, the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta keeps 60% of the funds we raise together as a presbytery, which funds the presbytery’s Diaconal Grants program.

  • All Presbytery of Greater Atlanta churches are eligible to apply for a Diaconal Grant to support hunger initiatives within their congregation.

  • The remaining 40% that we raise goes to the Atlanta Community Food Bank where - among many other outstanding results - they leverage every $1 into $9 worth of groceries for hunger relief (enough for 4 meals!).

  • If you do not register as part of the presbytery, funds raised do not contribute to the presbytery’s collective giving total or fund the Diaconal Grants program.

Start a Team, Join a Team, Reactivate a Team, Register as an Individual, and/or Donate toward a Team/Individual’s goal.

  • Churches may have multiple teams. Your team(s) may be called the “{Church Name} Team” or you can get creative! Have fun!

  • If registering as a Team, your Team Captain must register first and Start/Reactivate the Team. Then, additional team members may Join the Team.

Leading up to the Walk/Run, invite people to donate toward your team or individual goal.

Track team/individual progress and monitor the presbytery’s collective fundraising toward hunger relief.
