Description

Join us on November 7th, 2021 for our 2nd Annual Hibernian Harvest 4 Hunger 5K run/walk.  Sponsored by the Padraig Pearse Division #1 Kansas City Missouri - of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), we invite runners, walkers, and sponsors to participate.  The purpose of the event is to provide funding for the Our Lady of Perpetual Help food pantry (31st and Broadway), St. Therese Parish's St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry, and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception's Morning Glory Ministry food program which focuses on homeless vets.

The 5K will be held at the beautiful Parkville English Landing 5K Course.

Hunger is no stranger to the Irish, therefore the AOH 'Hunger Project' was launched in April 2020 in response to the affect of the quarantine on local communities.  Hunger is a very real problem for so many in our Kansas City community, and we are proud to sponsor this race in recognition of the unique challenges facing people of all faiths and backgrounds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to honor members' Irish ancestors who endured the tragedy of the 19th Century Irish Famine.

The Padraig Pearse Division #1 of the AOH was founded in Kansas City on February 11, 1871, and today is Kansas City's oldest continually operational civic organization.  We are a 501c-3 not for profit organization.  10% of funds raised will be used for race expenses as well as the continuing philanthropic efforts of the Padraig Parse Division.  The other 90% of funds will be divided equally between the Our Lady of Perpetual Help food pantry, St. Therese Food Pantry, and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception Morning Glory Ministry.
