​The East Avenue Grocery Run is about fitness, family fun, and feeding the hungry. 100% of our proceeds go to local organizations providing food, hope and dignity for hungry people. 

We are planning for an awesome in-person event which meets all health and safety guidelines.
​If restrictions on large gatherings are still in place at race time, we will switch to a virtual Grocery Run.

​"Giving back to the Rochester community is a core value of SMP. Since 2013, our support of the East Avenue Grocery Run has exemplified our People First philosophy. Not only does the event raise funds for an honorable and deserving cause, it provides a fun, family friendly atmosphere and is extremely well organized. Sponsoring the Boogie for Broccoli children's fun run enables SMP to promote physical activity and social consciousness among Rochester-area youth. Each year it is a pleasure to work with the East Avenue Grocery Run committee to support hunger-relief programs in our region."

“We have volunteered as race marshalls for the East Avenue Grocery Run every year since it's inception, in gratitude for the financial support it generates for Third Presbyterian Church's Dining Room Ministry, a hot meal program serving those in need.  As co-chairs of the DRM program, we see first hand how hunger continues to impact many in our community.  We know the value of a good meal in the midst of hunger, and we are grateful for the funds the EAGR generates to sustain this vital hunger program and many others in our community.”
