In 2007, Rick's Place was established as a non-profit organization to provide grief support to youth and their parents/guardians. We offer community and connection to families as they manage one of life's most difficult experiences - the death of a significant caregiver or sibling. We have free grief support programs for families on-site in Wilbraham two evenings a month. We also facilitate grief support groups in area schools and lead professional development trainings for school personnel and practitioners about the impact of grief on young people. Our grief support programs serve Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut communities.

    The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Walk/Run Challenge is a race inspired by the life of Sgt. Joshua D.

    Desforges, a United States Marine that was killed in combat in Afghanistan in May 2010. Josh chased his

    dream to become a Marine and every day, “lived life full throttle”. This event is not an average 5K

    run/walk. This event is better described as a 3+ mile road and trail run, with a twist of Marine Corps

    inspired obstacles and challenges sure to test mettle. 100% of the proceeds of this event have gone, and

    will continue to go, directly into the Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Scholarship fund.

    All proceeds go to graduating Ludlow High Seniors that are pursuing their life’s passion as Josh was by becoming a United Staes Marine.. This scholarship is different as It is open to any student regardless of college. They could be going to a trade school, joining the military, starting their own business etc.

    The scholarship is a way of honoring Josh’s life while giving back to the community that supported us tremendously when we lost him.

    Join Rachel’s Table of Western Massachusetts to outrun hunger! This year’s 5K race and 1-mile fun walk helps us to race to fill the bowls of those in need! Funds go directly to programs that feed people in Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin Counties. Those programs include 987,000+ pounds of food annually donated and delivered, purchased and gleaned, and our Growing Gardens program, where we mentor and support those most directly impacted by food insecurity to grow their own culturally meaningful and desired food!!! Our goal: Nourish Western MA - one delivery, one glean, one garden at a time.

    Your participation in this race or walk, in person in Forest Park (parking in the park itself is $3, volunteers will be reimbursed) or virtually, makes the difference, truly, whether our neighbors are fed or not. Please run or walk, invite your friends, create a team, enjoy the day.

    You can also REALLY help us by peer-to-peer fundraising - asking friends and family, near and far, to support your race or walk. Help us raise funds beyond your registration by donating to RTWM! The link to create your fundraising page is on the top of this page – called “Become a Fundraiser” or you will have an option to become a fundraiser when you register. If you register to run or walk and raise $100 or above as part of your fundraising efforts, you will be refunded $25! See details below.

    Fun walk - special props if you come in a costume!

    Please visit our website to see our impact: feedwma.org/our-impact/

    Participants are invited to bring non-perishable food. After the event, all food will be donated to one or more of Rachel’s Table's 65+ agencies feeding those who are food-insecure in our Western MA community.
