2014 Belwood Run For Hunger benefits soup kitchen
Greg Goodman, Alicia Garren and Shelia Goodman pray before the start of the 5K race.
On Saturday, October 4th the town of Belwood held the inaugural “2014 Belwood  Run For Hunger”, to benefit the The Lord Provides Soup Kitchen. The soup kitchen started five months ago and was the idea of Alicia Garren. It provides meals on the fourth Saturday of every month. Meals are also delivered to shut-ins and seniors who are unable to attend. All the proceeds from the 5K race go directly to the kitchen. Shelia Goodman, a volunteer at the soup kitchen and avid runner, was in charge of the race. The race was won by Benton Johnson of Hickory in the time of 18 minutes, 47 seconds. There were 146 runners that participated. Belwood Mayor, Debbie Hoyle was very pleased with the turnout and its success guarantees the “Belwood Run For Hunger” will become an annual event.
