Stratford, ON, October 22, 2025 \u2013 <\/strong>The Erb Group, a leading refrigerated transportation provider of fresh and frozen foods, proudly continued its support as presenting sponsor<\/em> of the Stratford 5K Run\/Walk at Upper Queen\u2019s Park in Stratford, Ontario, on October 5, 2025.<\/p>\n

Since the event\u2019s inception in 2022, The Erb Group has contributed more than $23,000<\/strong> to the Stratford 5K, helping fund vital community food programs offered through The Local<\/a> Community Food Centre (Stratford).<\/em><\/p>\n

The annual run\/walk has become a highlight for The Erb Group, The Local Community Food Centre, Stratford residents, local businesses, and runners from across southwestern Ontario. According to The Local, Stratford food banks saw a 25% increase<\/a> in first-time users in 2024, a sign of the growing challenge of food insecurity in the region and a reminder of the importance of community support.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event once again brought passionate people together around a shared purpose: promoting wellness, unity, and community spirit while supporting access to good, healthy food. The Erb Group is proud to contribute to these efforts through its essential role in food transportation, as well as by supporting local initiatives like the Stratford 5K.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with The Local to address food insecurity in the region is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work,\u201d added Briona Lahti, Public Relations Specialist at The Erb Group. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to see how this event continues to grow and inspire others to get involved year after year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to sponsorship, volunteers from The Erb Group\u2019s head office took part in the event, keeping runners refreshed at the water stations and participating in the race.<\/p>\n

With an outstanding turnout of over 550 5K runners, 100 Kids and 50 volunteers, this year\u2019s Stratford 5K Run\/Walk raised over $36K, all in support of The Local Community Food Centre. The funds will directly benefit programs that focus on cooking, growing, sharing, and advocating for healthy food access across the region.<\/p>\n
