Going outside for a run, walk, or a dog walk has helped many people keep their spirits up during the COVID-19 crisis. Given this, HomeFront has decided to host a VIRTUAL Run/Walk on June 7, rather than cancel its annual Run/Walk. You can register to do a 10K, 5K, one-mile Run/Walk, or a dog walk on June 7 - on your own, as a family, or as part of a "virtual team". You will be joining a large community of people coming out that day (or on their treadmills), all at 9am for a Facebook Live kickoff, to raise money for HomeFront's summer and year-round programs for local children in need. These life-changing programs serve over 400 local children per year who are homeless or at-risk.
