For 28 years, the church of St. John the Evangelist has been welcoming Londoners experiencing hunger to dinner every Saturday night without a break. In 2024, a Tuesday lunch and an outdoor pantry were added to address the ever increasing food security needs in London.

This is the primary, but not the only way that our church community reaches out to those in need. The funds raised from our event will go directly to feeding our guests. With increased cost of food and supplies, the success of this event has never been more critical to the financial security of the Meal Program.

The 5K Run/Walk provides the financial support to ensure these activities continue.  The need continues to grow – in 2025 our Saturday Meal has been serving more people than for the same period in 2024 and our Tuesday meal supports an average of 80 people per week!  The cost of food and supplies is also increasing. The success of this event has never been more important to the financial security of the Meal Program and to Outreach support.
