SUPPORT FOOD SECURITY WITH A FOOD BANK DONATION

In today's climate, the challenge of food security is more prevalent than ever. Our runners have always been strong supporters of these vital projects, and this year, we are proud to host a food drive once again.

Please bring your donations to the collection bin at the Vilas Park Shelter on race day. The pantry is in special need of:

• Non-Perishable Pantry Items: Essential food items to stock the pantry shelves.
• Bags: The pantry needs clean plastic, paper, or cloth grocery bags!
