Falmouth Road Race 2024

I am so excited to be running this year's Falmouth Road Race in support of the Medway Village Food Pantry!  Like may Medway residents, I became familiar with MVFP thanks to the criticial food drives and fundraisers held during the height of COVID-19, and learned about how much support they were providing people.  Wanting to do more than just donate, Andrew, our kids and I began volunteering there on Saturday mornings, helping out with food disbursement for the hundred or so families that visited every week. We were so impressed with how dedicated the board and all the volunteers consistently are, and how many of our neighbors they help each and every week! I am so honored to be part of the MVFP Falmouth Road Race Fundraising Team!  

On August 18, 2024, 10 amazing volunteers will run the iconic 7-mile course in Falmouth to raise much-needed funds for the Medway Village Food Pantry. All of the money raised will be used to purchase food, diapers, and personal care items. 

The Medway Village Food Pantry has experienced exponential growth over the last two years.  In 2023, we had 24,176 client visits, up 43% from 2022, and our numbers grow every week. In the first two months of 2024, we had 4,611 client visits and served the most families ever in a single day in the 20 year history of the food pantry on the last Saturday in February. We are run 100% by volunteers, so with the exception of a few, small operating expenses, all of the funds will directly benefit the community and help us keep up with the demand.
