Hunger Walk is typically on the second Sunday in March. The official date will be released and registration will open in January 2026. Start forming your teams and fundraising now so that we can hit the ground running in January.
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.
1 - 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.
2 - 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.
3 - Leading up to the Walk/Run, invite people to donate toward your team or individual goal.
4 - Revisit the Hunger Walk > Presbytery page to track team/individual progress and monitor the presbytery’s collective fundraising toward hunger relief.
