GardenShare’s Fight Hunger Fair
Save the date: Fight Hunger Fair and 5K!
Sunday, September 15, 2024
Canton Village Park
September is Hunger Action Month and in St. Lawrence County, hunger action is still needed.
Our annual Fight Hunger Fair brings together the presentation of the 2024 Growing Community Award, Hunger Action Month activities, the Fight Hunger 5K, and the Veggie Adventure 1 mile Run.
This fun and family-friendly community event brings awareness about food justice work in St. Lawrence County. Before, during and after the 5K run/walk, there will be educational games and activities centered around food system awareness, a story walk, and music, as well as tabling of community partners who strive to alleviate local hunger and food insecurity. Want more information on the Fight Hunger Fair? Contact us at info@gardenshare.org or 315-261-8054!
