Why We Run

The HoBOOken 5K isn’t just a race—it’s a movement to end hunger and homelessness right here in our community. Every step taken helps fuel the mission of The Hoboken Shelter: to provide food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and support services that help our neighbors move from the streets into stable housing.

Thanks to community support, The Shelter provides 50 safe sleeps every night, 500 hot meals a day, and 1,000 showers a week. When you run, fundraise, volunteer, or sponsor, you help keep these critical services going—and give our Guests the support they need to rebuild their lives.
