From the Organizer
Join Kids’ Food Basket (KFB) on the most popular running day of the year as we officially host the 21st annual Gobble Wobble fun run and walk. We invite friends, family, neighbors and even furry friends to once again run, walk or wobble to the finish line on Thanksgiving morning! We also invite all kids 12 and under to participate in our Widdle Wobble! This event is open to all youth and is free of charge. Follow KFB for updates about registration and reach out to events@kidsfoodbasket.org for sponsorship opportunities.
All proceeds from the Gobble Wobble will go directly to Kids’ Food Basket.
Kids’ Food Basket exists to increase children's and families' access to healthy food. Our core belief is that food is a right, not a privilege. Because that is not yet a reality, we mobilize human and financial resources to break down barriers that cause food insecurity. Our services include our flagship Sack Supper program, community-driven farming, family food provision and educational programming. Collectively, we are working toward realizing a hunger-free West Michigan for all.
We look forward to running with you on Thanksgiving morning!
