We are excited to invite you to participate in an upcoming 5K dedicated to kick off National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (Nov. 15-26), raise awareness about hunger, and support families experiencing food insecurity throughout the Appalachian region.

Our goal is to bring together students, faculty, staff, and community members to take a step toward fighting hunger. Along with participating in the 5K, attendees are asked to contribute food donations to help support families in need. At least one donation item is required to register in the 5k. Scan the QR to access specific donation lists and the 5k course map.

We encourage everyone in the UVA Wise community to get involved and help spread the word. Every participant and every donation brings us one step closer to making a positive impact.

Let’s come together, move with purpose, and help fight hunger in Appalachia. We hope to see you there!
