As the kettle crush
with 2K is the Salvation Army of
Metro Atlanta's women's auxiliary
is holding the kettle Crush 5K on
May 21st in Marietta on the square.
This event is an A JC Peachtree
Rd race official qualifying event
that's so exciting with the Salvation
Army's mission to crush poverty,
homelessness, human sex,
trafficking in support veterans and
youth enrichment in Metro Atlanta.
If you don't want to race,
you can always make a donation to
support those causes and a bonus.
I saw him promoting it on Facebook
11 Alive's own crash.
Clark will be one of the hosts at the race.

Crash was trying to get the event
name changed to Kettle Crash.
I don't know if that's
name ohh any way but he
was giving it a go that might take
a minute crash but keep at it.
In the meantime, support your Salvation Army.
Yes, so so important.

of good things over there,

the people that have done it since it
started and there's so many stories

Finally, a local organization,
Hosea helps is asking for your help.
So Hosea helps.
Is a black owned nonprofit that distributes
meals and provides other services,
including rental and utilities assistance.
The organization says the
need for food is on the rise.
So they recently shared that
they had more than 600 vehicles
show up for food distributed,
just distribution event and
that was just one event.
OK, so the organization offers food
to more than 50,000 people per year.
They work with local farmers markets
to offer fresh produce to those
who can't afford it and provide
healthy meals to children in school.
So please help them continue
this important work by donating
or volunteering for hosea.org.

Obviously, there's always
a push around the holidays,
but they need your help every single day.
I mean, it's it's incredible,
the work that they've done again,
especially in the last two years.
