The race will generate essential funding for FITB to continue supporting 7,500 children weekly at locations across Fairfield and Westchester Counties through their weekend meal program and school-based pantries. Proceeds from the race will also support FITB’s newest initiative, The Fresh Food on the Move mobile pantry. The mobile pantry launched in October 2023 and, to date, has served 220,000 pounds of food to thousands of local families, specifically in Norwalk and Stamford. With less than 1% of food donated to FITB’s program, funding from the race plays a pivotal role in addressing the growing demand for FITB’s multiple food assistance programs for families struggling with food insecurity.
