17th Annual Gobble Wobble Food Drive&Bridge Run

Overview

2026 marks seventeen years of running, walking, and rolling for hunger needs, thanks to the North Bay Civitan Club of D'Iberville-St. Martin!

As part of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (November 15-21), we invite you and your family and friends to enjoy a sunset stroll across Biloxi Bay Bridge while helping replenish local pantry shelves with non-perishables as your registration for the 17th Annual Gobble Wobble Food Drive & Bridge Run!

This community service give-back takes place at the Ocean Springs foot of Biloxi Bay Bridge on Saturday, Nov. 21. Registration is between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Our beneficiary for 2026 will be announced late Summer!

Participants are challenged to bring at least $10 worth of food items. Cash donations will also be accepted to help offset Club expenses on this and future service projects. Civitans will be accepting donations until 5 p.m. at the registration booth, however, the Gobble Wobble's opening ceremonies start at 4:15 p.m. on the bridge.

Every year is different on how many participants and the total amount of nonperishable foods that are donated. In 2025, nearly 900 food items were collected and presented to the Second Mile Food & Clothing Pantry, a ministry of First Baptist Church Biloxi. For 2024, we had over 1,200 items that were split between Southern Miss Gulf Park Campus Food Pantry and Seashore Mission in Biloxi. In 2023, over 600 non-perishables were given to USM’s Gulf Park Campus Food Pantry! In 2022, about 500 non-perishables went to Seashore Mission in Biloxi. In 2021, the Gobble Wobble had nearly 50 participants and about 800 food items collected for Gulf Coast Community Ministries in Gulfport.
