5K Benefit Walk/Run for the Hungry

Fun times in the SNOW!
A wonderful event for the local community that raised over 2500 cans of food for the Food Pantry 
with 20 cans/person entry fee!

Off we go! 
SNOW! Great big fluffy flakes. It was beautiful!
Jacob's (event organizer and soon to be Eagle Scout) statement on the hunger situation: "Thank you and please spread the awareness that hunger is near and touches every walk of life. We serve Veterans, the elderly and folks who have been laid off. Many are searching for work and doing all they can and just need a hand. I have learned that the stereotypes of hunger are wrong. 
It is near to all of us."
Don't let the tent's lack of population fool you! 
Most people waited in their cars until the start time.  
Bless those who manned the event tent! 

The layered up Kirby team plus "mom" behind the camera.  
So proud of them! We all had a wonderful time! 
Great event. Great people. Great cause!
