The 5th Annual Meals on Main Street (MOMS) 5k and 1.5 Mile Fun Run took place on Sunday, October 19, 2025 in Port Chester with over 600 runners. The event raised over $200,000 that will be used to fund MOMS food assistance programs over the holidays. In 2024, Meals On Main Street distributed over 3,000 turkeys to families in need across Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Fairfield counties in time for Thanksgiving. They anticipate greater demand this year and rely on the race to help meet the growing need in our area.

Meals On Main Street is a food hub that sources food and ingredients through a comprehensive food rescue model. They partner with Wegmans, Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, Target, and several farms upstate to recover high-quality food that would otherwise end up in landfills (read: Giving Rye: Meet Meals on Main Street).

On Sunday, the 5k Female Winner was Kelsie Greco, age 44, of Rye, NY; time 21:28 and pace 6:55 and the 5k Male Winner was Randolfo Portillo, age 33, of Mount Kisco, NY; 17:39 time and 5:41 pace. You can view all results from the 5th Annual Meals on Main Street (MOMS) 5k and 1.5 Mile Fun Run.
