East Avenue Grocery Run

Join fellow Artisans in running in the East Avenue Grocery Run to support the South Wedge Food Program.

The South Wedge Food Program has its roots as a place for people in need to get food going back to 1981.  Recently, its founding congregation closed, though the food program remains open and more important than ever.  In order to keep feeding the hungry, a wider portion of the community now needs to support the food program.

A great way to offer support is to walk or run in the East Avenue Grocery Run. This is a good course, with impressive food at the end.
