Baptist Church is providing the facility for our race. During the months of
November and December the church Food Pantry (used to provide food for local
needy families) is sometimes depleted. We would like to ask each runner
to donate one canned food item to the Hillwood Baptist Church Food
Pantry to help needy families during the holiday seasons.
