Food Drive + 8th Annual Turkey Day Run o' Fun (Trail run in Forest Park)

About this event

8th Annual Turkey Run o' Fun info below, but FIRST: Join us for FOOD DRIVE NOVEMBER: This November, Northwest Trail Runners is hosting a Food Drive to support the 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 can be made 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!
