WINONA LAKE – World Compassion Network will hold its annual 5K Run/Walk for Hunger this month in Winona Lake. The event is March 29 at 10 a.m. in Winona Lake Park. Race day registration will be at the Winona Lake Senior Center from 8 to 9:45 a.m. The race will start at 10 a.m. beginning and ending at the Senior Center Park Pavilion in Winona Lake Park. Headquartered in Warsaw, WCN responds to domestic and international disasters through local churches and alliances with other relief organizations; seeks to serve the poor and suffering in local communities; and assists in leading short-term outreach teams for volunteers. WCN has responded to local tornadoes and flooding disasters as well as to recent disasters in New York, Oklahoma and Alabama. The 5K Run/Walk for Hunger is an effort to get more people involved in helping meet the needs right here in our community. Given current economic conditions, many people are struggling to cover essentials like food, according to Josh Grill, race organizer.
