2021 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Ultimate LIVE Virtual 5K Walk/Run
The Fun Starts Here!
Weekend of May 22-23
FOOD INSECURITY IS REAL AND INCREASING
This year’s HIKE for HOPE will support our Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.
Join this year’s HIKE for HOPE 2021 Challenge and be part of
the solution to food insecurity in our community. Building on the
success of last year’s virtual HIKE for HOPE, this community-
focused and fun Challenge will bring us all together to raise
critical funds to support our soup kitchen and food pantry,
relieving the stress and uncertainty for families who struggle to
put food on the table for their families.
HOW IT WORKS!
Participate in all 3 activities in ONE Weekend, May 22-23, 2021.
1) 5K WALK/RUN
New this year, we will have two LIVE 5K Walk/Run Events on
Saturday, May 22 and Sunday, May 23 at 10 a.m. Pick one or
participate in both. Using the Charge Running App, choose your
course or use your treadmill, while receiving encouragement from a
running coach and inspiration from people who know firsthand the
hardship families are facing. Chat with others via the chat room, track
your status, and listen to a real-time playlist curated for you!
2) FOOD DRIVE
Help us meet the need of families and individuals struggling with food
insecurity. Collect and drop off non-perishable items (list provided in
the App) to help replenish our food supply. Or simply donate $25
towards our pantry shopping cart.
3) FUNDRAISE
Fundraise to ensure families in our community have reliable access to
nutritious food. Inspire at least five people to donate $20.21 each. It’s
easy to create a fundraising page and even easier for your network to
make donations.
PARTICIPANT PACKAGE
Every registered participant will receive a branded mask, a
downloadable official certificate of achievement and souvenir bib
number as well as access to all weekend activities including a
pre-HIKE training program.
COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE
Registrants that complete the Challenge will also receive a HIKE for
HOPE Challenge long sleeve t-shirt. Are you up for an extra challenge
this year? Walk or Run twice! The more activities you participate in and
the more dollars you raise, the more Challenge points you will earn to
win fantastic prizes.
We Challenge you to post your HIKE for HOPE experience, with your
Challenge Bib, on Instagram. The 10 most creative posts will receive a
Swag bag filled with goodies and a gift card from the Tuscan Kitchen.

HIKE AWAY HUNGER AND HIKE FOR HOPE
ABOUT LAZARUS HOUSE MINISTRIES
For the past 38 years, Lazarus House has provided programs and services to restore dignity and self-respect to empower families and individuals struggling with food insecurity, poverty and homelessness. Throughout the challenges posed by the pandemic, we have focused our efforts on maintaining our most critical services – food distribution, shelter and housing for families. Through the current health crisis and its devastating financial impact, both of which have affected our Lawrence community disproportionately, we have had to re-imagine how to serve our Guests safely while meeting their most pressing needs. The support of our generous community allows us to open doors for more than 18,000 families every year, a number that keeps growing as our community grapples with the myriad challenges posed by COVID-19.
Access to safe and stable housing, healthful food, and a caring case manager can make all the difference in someone’s ability to see new possibilities and thrive. Your support of HIKE for HOPE benefits the women, men, and children we assist to find safety, rediscover hope, and carry the goodness they find in the Lazarus House community out into the world.
THE NEED
Both our Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen have seen a tremendous increase in need since last March and we do not expect the increased need for food assistance to subside any time soon. Based on Lawrence residents’
experience of earlier crises, the economic impact from COVID-19 has hit the community hard and recovery of households will be a longer-term process than elsewhere in the Commonwealth. We will continue, as we have done for the past 38 years, to open the door and welcome each Guest with kindness and compassion and walk alongside them as they stabilize, recover and rebuild their lives.
RESPONDING TO THE NEED
With your support, Lazarus House will continue the battle against food insecurity and assist anyone who comes to our door in need. Through expanded program hours, additional staffing, enhanced safety measures, significant investments in food and your support, we will continue to be a beacon of light in the darkness of poverty for individuals living with the
unimaginable stress and uncertainty of not being able to provide enough food for their families.
In addition, Lazarus House Ministries is preparing to launch a full renovation and enhancement of our current Soup Kitchen. These renovations will improve quality, efficiency and capacity to serve our cherished Guests for years to come.
