SW Hope 5K

We are back again at OES in SW Portland, starting at 9:45 with kids and the 5k to follow at 10:15!

Every spring, multiple Southwest Portland Faith Organizations and Community Partners join hands to meet the need of hunger specifically, by working to supply Neighborhood House’s (https://nhpdx.org/) Free Food Market, the largest west of the Willamette. This joint effort is known as the Southwest Hope Campaign. Since 2016, Missio has organized the SW Hope 5k as a culmination of the greater campaign.

What can $1 buy at the grocery store? Maybe one—at most two—canned goods.

But through trusted partnerships with local vendors and markets, Neighborhood House can stretch every dollar much further. That means each $1 donated goes beyond what we could purchase on our own.

We quickly realized that instead of simply collecting canned goods, we could turn our efforts into something far more impactful—empowering Neighborhood House to maximize resources and reach hundreds more hungry neighbors in our community.

This is where you come in. We invite you to run with us in our fifth annual SW Hope Feed the Hungry 5K because each $1 we raise together far outweighs it’s worth in canned goods individually.  If we run together, our neighbors here in SW Portland won’t have to experience the insecurity of not knowing where their next meal is coming from.
