The Fist Bump 5k

The Fist Bump 5K supports Family Shelter Services, an organization dedicated to providing temporary shelter and transitional housing for those in need, aiming to break the cycle of homelessness. The event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, including walkers, strollers, and leashed pets. Top finishers in each age group receive prizes. Family Shelter Services operates a 52-bed emergency shelter and a transitional housing program, supporting approximately 350 individuals annually. The organization relies on community generosity to maintain its services, as it operates without federal funding, making a significant impact on lives across the Piedmont region.
