Registration is now available for the Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation’s 13th Annual Milk Run/Walk, scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2026, at Ramsey’s Farm in Wilmington. The fundraising event has generated more than $266,000 throughout its 12-year history to help feed Delaware families and promote farming education statewide.
This year’s event expands its offerings with three distance options: a 2-mile health walk, a 5k trail run, and a new 10k trail run. Participants can register for $35 until May 8, with fees increasing to $40 afterward. Same-day registration starts at 8:00am, and all events begin at 9:00am. The fundraiser welcomes participants of every age and fitness level.
Money raised through the event benefits multiple hunger relief and educational initiatives throughout Delaware. The Ministry of Caring’s “Milk for Children Fund” supplies milk for meals distributed to individuals facing food insecurity in the Wilmington region. The Food Bank of Delaware’s Backpack Program guarantees students receive nutrition during weekends and school breaks. Additionally, the Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation delivers interactive farming education directly to classrooms statewide to enhance agricultural awareness in local communities.
Local businesses and organizations interested in supporting the cause can explore various sponsorship packages. For sponsorship details, contact Joseph Poppiti, DEFB Executive Director, at 302-697-3183 or [email protected]. Registration is available at https://defb.org/foundation/milk-run/.
