Event proceeds from the Elk Grove Run 4 Hunger benefit the Elk Grove Food Bank Services (EGFBS), a nonprofit dedicated to providing essential resources to overcome the many faces of hunger and human need. In the last 11 years the Food Bank has grown from two programs to 15 programs, two employees to four (4) full time employees and nine (9) part time employees and hundreds of dedicated volunteers. They also provide FREE clothes to those in need and things like pet food and senior wellness items along with serving veterans in our area. Every $1 donated equals 4 meals. Overall distribution for the Food Bank since 2014 has increased 87% and 280% for seniors since 2010 and we are currently serving approximately 5700 people a month. Currently, 1980 of those are seniors and 2017 of those are children in the EGUSD.
