Race to Deliver Toolkit
The Race to Deliver is one of the largest annual fundraisers for God’s Love We Deliver. The race is a symbol of our own daily race to ensure no one person has to face the unthinkable combination of illness and hunger.
This is the 30th year of the race and we are excited to join you in-person for our run/walk in Central Park, New York!

Need some language about God’s Love We Deliver? See below!
God’s Love We Deliver cooks and home-delivers nutritious, medically tailored meals for people too sick to shop or cook for themselves. Founded in 1985 as a response to the AIDS pandemic, we now serve people living with more than 200 different diagnoses. To support the health and well-being of our clients, we provide ongoing nutrition assessment, education, and counseling, and advocate for food and nutrition support. God’s Love is a non-sectarian organization serving individuals living with illness, and their children and caregivers. With a community of thousands of volunteers, we home-delivered more than 3.9 million medically tailored meals to nearly 11,000 individuals last year. All services are free to clients and full of love. For more information, visit godslovewedeliver.org.
4. Set and Share Your Goal
Be sure to set a fundraising goal when you sign up for the Race. The higher your fundraising goal, the larger the individual gift tends to be. Every $10 funds a meal for a New Yorker living with illness so why not set a goal of $100? $1,000?
