June 24, 2020 (Atlanta, GA) - MUST Ministries has continued to adapt all programs through COVID-19, finding innovative solutions to offer help and hope for people in desperate need. To raise the necessary funds to meet that need the nonprofit is offering a virtual "Feed the Need" road race. Runners and walkers choose between a 10K, 5K, 1K or Tot Trot (50 yards), then run their own race anytime between July 4 - 11.

“Remarkably, we have served more than 50,000 people in the past three months when we typically serve 33,000 over the course of a year,” said MUST Ministries President and CEO Ike Reighard. “There are still so many people who were already struggling and are now dealing with unemployment, homelessness and hunger. Events like the ‘Feed the Need’ virtual road race will continue to provide MUST with the extensive resources needed to help struggling neighbors get back on their feet.”

Although services have taken on a new look this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, MUST Ministries adjusted it's programs, such as Summer Lunch, to continue safely serving the community

All proceeds will go to provide food, housing, and jobs for the local community. The race cost is $30 and includes a t-shirt. Anyone registering now for both “Feed the Need” and the annual Thanksgiving Day Gobble Jog will receive a complimentary themed mask.
