Description

All proceeds are used for the Galatians 6:2 Food Pantry in Elgin, SC and Homeless Outreach Programs. This year more than ever we will need all of the support we can get. The cost of food is steadily rising. USDA Waivers for food programs will expire soon creating a gap in funding for summer food programs. South Carolina withdrew from Federal Pandemic Aid so the kids will not receive the P-EBT and most summer food programs will not operate. Food Pantries and Food Banks will bare the load of that responsibility. On average it cost us between $25 -$30 to provide one week of groceries to a family of four. Grants barely cover 3 months of that. We depend on public charity, fundraisers like this and public donations to meet the needs of our community. Local community advocacy groups will have tables set up with awareness information and free community services offered to the public. All preregistered participants will receive a free gift and be entered for prize drawings. Breakfast refreshments will be provided. 7:30am Same Day Registration 8:15- Aerobic Warm Up 8:30 am- Walk Begins 10 am- Meet the Community Supporters 10:30 - Give Aways 10:30-noon - Various games, contest and awareness activities. 2021 Walk on Purpose Group Photo Coach Howard, aerobic warm up! 2018 Walk on Purpose Group Photo
