The 3rd Annual Heart and Soles 5K Walk/ Run Will Take Place in Downtown Homestead

(Homestead, FL) - Project Start Off Smart (SOS) and South Dade Weed and Seed will be holding their 3rd annual Heart and Soles 5K Walk and Run on Saturday, February 5 in Homestead. Registration will begin at 7:00 AM at Losner Park, 104 N. Krome Avenue, in the historic downtown district.

Through the partnership between the Homestead Police Department, Project SOS, and South Dade Weed and Seed these organizations are able to integrate law enforcement with human services to
meet the needs of the Homestead residents and surrounding areas. The combined agency efforts provide safety, independence, and an improved quality of life to the entire community.

In the past, funding has been strictly through grants and in-kind donations. The money raised through the Heart and Soles event contributes greatly to the daily services and the impact that these organizations provide their clients. Some of clients that are provided assistance to are victims of child abuse and neglect, substance abuse, and domestic violence. Both of these organizations work closely with local schools as well as community and state agencies to deliver services on all levels effectively and efficiently.

If you would like to participate in the this event, registration forms can be found on the City of Homestead website’s homepage at www.cityofhomestead.com under the Heart and Soles logo. The registration fee of $25 can also be paid directly online. Also available online is the race waiver and release, please print and bring the completed document with you the day of the race. All registered runners will receive a bib number that must be worn on race day. For further rules and guidelines please the City’s website.

Interested parties can also donate directly to these organizations through Paypal and major credit cards. If you have any problems submitting your information, please contact Sandra Nanni at 305-224-5586.
