FOOD AND SHOE DRIVE
BTC/running community to give back - May 7th & 10th

Mark your calendars for:
Wednesday, May 7 (5:30 to 7:00 p.m.)
Saturday, May 10 (10:00 a.m. to Noon - come by after the Zoo Run!)
...for a ‘Food and Shoes Drive’ in front of the Trak Shak in Homewood. Members of the Birmingham Track Club will be on hand to receive the donations, size them, and place them in the proper bins.

Please bring your old SERVICEABLE running shoes – NOT grass cutting shoes – and know the size please. We will donate these to inner city youths who are enjoying running and track but due to a variety of reasons can’t afford or are not provided with running shoes.

So please make sure they are serviceable, because they will be used for running again. It’s a great chance to donate something we seldom give a second thought about to someone who can genuinely use and appreciate them. Plus it can only help spread the gospel of running and fitness and help provide them with the confidence to work hard and achieve their dreams.

AREA FOOD BANKS ARE RUNNING ’DRY’ so please drop by the Trak Shak (same times as above) with non-perishable food items. It is a sad fact that many of our area food banks are running out of food and we are so blessed that we can sometimes take a meal for granted, so let’s share our blessings with those who aren’t so fortunate. I guess a different way of saying it is let us be the blessing. So please bring what you can for those in need. We will donate the food items to area food banks so they can re-stock and continue to feed those in need. In a country such as ours, no one should ever go hungry.

Again BTC volunteers will gladly accept your donations – so please be generous with your SERVICBLE running shoes and non-perishable food items. This might be a good time to replace your shoes and donate the old ones to some kids who would really be grateful.
