    Your donation helps fund the programs and services we provide for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, hunger, or economic hardship. NSKS has achieved a lot in our 45 years of serving the greater Nashua area. In addition to our twice daily meals, our food pantry, our Backpacks for Back to School program, and our Meals for Kids program (frozen meals for dinner at home, distributed through the schools), in December 2022 we opened our new emergency shelter at 35 Spring Street, which has more than doubled our capacity to provide shelter, with a particular impact on families with children.

    We look forward to welcoming competitive and recreational runners and walkers to our annual fundraiser!

    SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

    Interested in becoming a partner on the event? We are currently seeking event sponsors at various levels. To learn more about these opportunities, contact Carol Weeks at carol@nsks.org

    Join us for Isaac's Run; a 3 mile road race to honor the life of Isaac Phillips; a young man whose 15 years were filled with heart, humor, and a legacy that reaches far beyond the time he was given and continues to inspire us every day.

    Runners and walkers are welcome. Share in smiles and memories and wear your purple as it was Isaac's favorite color - a color that now reminds us of his joy, resilience, and light.

    All proceeds will be given to the Isaac Phillips Medical Memorial Scholarship, a fund to financially assist Mascenic graduate nominees going into the medical field.
