PRESCOTT – The local Prescott Women Run Arkansas Chapter challenged its participants this year by holding a canned food drive.

Women Run Arkansas is a free 10-week running/ walking clinic and is only held in 43 cities in Arkansas, Prescott being only one in four cities in South West Arkansas.  It is held each year starting in March and ending in May.  Each chapter in Arkansas relies solely on local donations which pay for water, door prizes, and health education.

The local Prescott chapter wanted to give back to the community and decided that the local FoodShare would best benefit the donation. This is the combined efforts of all the participants and their donations for six weeks during the 2018 Clinic.
