Salvation Army hosts 'Major Steps 5K Walk'

By Billie Owens

The Salvation Army will be hosting its fifth  annual “Major Steps 5K Walk” on Saturday, April 30.

The monies raised will benefit The Salvation Army’s Emergency Family Services office, which provides food and financial assistance to families in Genesee County.

For individuals who are not able to complete the 5K walk there are two shorter routes. Strollers, wheelchairs, pull-along wagons and pets are welcome.

Again this year we will be offering “Take a Step Back." Recognized nonprofit groups can receive back 20 percent of the total they raise in pledges and/or donations. To be eligible, the group must have at least five walkers participating and each walker must have a minimum of $25 in pledges/donations.

Individuals registering before April 8 will receive an event T-shirt. This includes escorts as well as walkers.
