FOOD DRIVE NOV + Newton Wildwood BPA Loop (Trail run in Forest Park)

**Run info below, but FIRST:**
**Join us for FOOD DRIVE NOVEMBER:** This November, Northwest Trail Runners is hosting a Food Drive to support the Sunshine Division and help fight food insecurity in our community.
Throughout the month, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food donations at our Tuesday and Saturday runs. Look for the donation barrel (provided by the Sunshine Division) at each run — every item makes a difference!
Requested items include:

* Canned meats
* Peanut butter
* Boxed dinners
* Canned vegetables & fruits
* Canned beans
* Pasta sauce

Monetary donations are also welcome — cheques can be made payable to *Sunshine Division*.
Let’s come together on the trails and offer to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Learn more about the Sunshine Division’s impact at [sunshinedivision.org](https://sunshinedivision.org/)
