The Race to D’Feet Hunger 5K and Fun Run is a great community event to help raise donations and awareness for Clemmons Food Pantry.  Saturday, September 17 is race day.  This is a perfect event for the whole family so get your running shoes ready!  ABOUT THE CLEMMONS FOOD PANTRY:
Established in 2004, the Clemmons Food Pantry is a non-profit organization providing
supplemental groceries to residents of Forsyth County.  Started as a Sunday school project by a small group at Clemmons United Methodist Church, The Pantry has since grown to an award winning community organization that has extended its services to over 130,000 people.

From the start it was determined that The Pantry would not turn away anyone in need, regardless of circumstance.  This still holds true today and clients may receive groceries every 60 days no matter their income or situation.   The Pantry is fortunate to be supported by a network of over 200 generous volunteers who give their time and energy to serve others.  Because of this generosity we are able to serve the community without any paid employees.   This is one of the reasons we are able to ensure that 81 cents of every dollar donated is used to purchase groceries.

Register online here.  For more information about the Clemmons Food Pantry, visit their website at www.clemmonsfoodpantry.org
