The Dawson Community Food Bank & Thrift is organizing our innaugural “Outrun Hunger” 5K charity run and walk!
This exciting community event will take place on Saturday, October 24th 2026 at Yahoola Creek Park in Dahlonega.
We'll have a great course, Custom Finisher Medals, Great Race shirts, and a load of good fun. Overall awards as well as the top three in each of the normal 5 year age groups 10 & Under through 80+)
Food insecurity is real in North Georgia! Working family expenses have swelled by all measures so many local residents are struggling just to get by. All of the proceeds will go directly to supporting 3,000 local households of 8,800 individuals. This includes 1,900 seniors and 2,400 children.
he Dawson Community Food Bank & Thrift is a trusted 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity located at 92 Chestatee Industrial Park Drive. They are the largest food bank agency in the Georgia Mountain Food Bank network, supporting Dawson, Lumpkin and surrounding counties. However, they need help to keep pantry shelves fully stocked.
