September is Hunger Action Awareness Month, an annual nationwide campaign to raise awareness about food insecurity and to inspire action. WARM’s Hunger Heroes 5K brings people together in a fun way to highlight the growing need in the Westerville community.
We also have a virtual option for those who cannot attend on event day.
WARM will be collecting non-perishable food items the morning of the race, so bring some items to the event and help others!
