One in four kids in the U.S. faces hunger. Hence Best Runners top community service priority is to feed the hungry. Best Runners is proud to say that it has unbroken chain of feeding the hungry every week since the program was launched (September 23, 2017).
The goal is to provide a platform to create opportunities for those who are motivated to give back to society. This program works with the local shelters and food banks to support their needs. Best Runners encourages not only its members but also others in the community to give to the needy.

Best Runners is committed for weekly charity activities and we need your help to lead/support these events. We also want to give the opportunity to our Juniors to participate and lead these events as kid volunteers. BR will be providing required funds for these events. However, you are most welcome to sponsor full/partial cost of these events on special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries. The event leads will be responsible for coordinating all the activities on that day.
Please Note: For the food preparation weekend, the lead volunteers will be responsible for offering/finding a home kitchen for food preparation. BR funds can be used towards the grocery shopping for the food drop-off of as well as the supplies needed for food preparation. Please let us know if you would like us to work with a charity organization not on the list and we would love to include them in our plan for upcoming weeks.
The weekly Giving program is actively engaged in serving the needy. The members get together once a week to donate food items to the food banks or cook and serve.
