FOOD DRIVE NOV + Leif & Triple Tag Wildwood (Trail run in Forest Park)
Details
Run info below, but FIRST:
Join us for FOOD DRIVE NOVEMBER: This November, Northwest Trail Runners is hosting a Food Drive to support Sunshine Division and help fight food insecurity in our community.
Throughout the month, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations at our Tuesday and Saturday runs. Look for the donation barrel (provided by the Sunshine Division) at each run — every item makes a difference! Requested items include:
- Canned meats
- Peanut butter
- Boxed dinners
- Canned vegetables & fruits
- Canned beans
- Pasta sauce
Monetary donations are also welcome — checks payable to Sunshine Division.
Let’s come together on the trails and offer to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Learn more about the Sunshine Division’s impact at sunshinedivision.org
Have questions? Reach out to any organizer!
