This year, The First Presbyterian Church of Chili’s Food Cupboard will be participating in the Grocery Run. The Grocery Run is an event sponsored by the Third Presbyterian Church of Rochester to benefit area Food Cupboards. There are a variety of runs and walks to select from; however, the First Presbyterian Church of Chili’s Food Cupboard Team has chosen to sponsor the Virtual Run/Walk. When one signs up for the Virtual Run/Walk, they can choose any distance to run, bike, walk or stroll, and can complete this event anytime, anywhere between November 3 and 5. If you are not a runner or walker, you can still go to the team’s website and donate any amount of money you feel comfortable in contributing to the Cupboard. The registration fee for the Virtual Run/Walk is $30, all of which will go to the Food Cupboard to help cover food expenses.
The First Presbyterian Church of Chili’s Food Cupboard is a drive-thru Cupboard that is open from 10 to 11 a.m. on the third Saturday of each month. It serves between 70 to 80 households and feeds between 200 to 300 people in and around the Chili community. The Food Cupboard offers both small and large families non-perishable items as well as fresh produce, eggs, and meat.
Those wishing to participate can go to https://chili-presbyterian.org and follow the directions for registering for the race and/or making a donation.
Those who register by midnight on October 9, will receive their preferred size, super-soft performance-fabric commemorative race t-shirt. Ladies’ shirts are fitted and run about two sizes smaller than the typical unisex. It is recommended that ladies order one or two sizes up.
