Senior Citizens, Inc., a local non-profit agency will host its 8th annual Miles for Meals 5k Run/Walk to benefit SCI’s Meals On Wheels program on Saturday, March 24. The event, presented by Chatham Parkway Subaru, will start at 8 a.m. from Senior Citizens, Inc. on Bull Street and loop through the picturesque Washington Avenue before ending at SCI.

A fun and easy 5K perfect for people of all ages, Miles for Meals participants are encouraged to bring their four-legged friends, kids in strollers, and dress as their favorite foods.  Race proceeds will help fight senior hunger by supporting SCI’s MOW program, which currently delivers 1,800 hot, healthy meals and friendly smiles each day to seniors throughout Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, and Effingham counties.

Every $6 raised by this event will provide a freshly-prepared, nutritious meal and wellness-check to a homebound senior. SCI’s goal is to reduce hunger among local seniors by raising the money needed to provide 2,000 home-delivered meals each day.
