September 12th event at South Mountain Recreation Complex – Franciscan Charities invites the community to run, walk, volunteer and support Newark neighbors in need
Franciscan Charities, a Newark nonprofit that has grown from serving 12 meals on its first day to providing 2 million hot meals for more than two decades, will host its first 5K Run &amp; Walk on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the South Mountain Recreation Complex in West Orange.
The event will bring runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters together from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Participants can register online at <a href="https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run</a> or on event day at the Clipper Pavilion beginning at 8:00 a.m.
Franciscan Charities began more than 20 years ago as a small soup kitchen in the basement of St. Ann's Church in Newark. Since then, the organization has served 2 million hot meals, including approximately 140,000 meals last year.
Beyond meals, Franciscan Charities provides diapers and formula to families, school supplies and uniforms to children, winter coats, and holiday gifts. The organization's work during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized nationally by the Obama Foundation, which featured Franciscan Charities as a "Story of Hope" and described the organization as "small but mighty." The City of Newark has also recognized Franciscan Charities as a "beacon of hope and inspiration."
“Food insecurity remains a serious challenge for many Newark residents, particularly families and individuals struggling with the rising costs of food, housing, and other basic necessities. Please come out and join us on the 12th - your support will make a real difference. We can do this together!” Brother Paul Miller, Founder and CEO

All about Scooby:&nbsp; German Shepherd / Bully / Pit mix, 50lbs of cuteness. 2yr old. Obsessed with squeaky tennis balls. Very active, but he's just as happy to curl up and snuggle.&nbsp; Fully house trained &amp; crate trained.&nbsp; Very playful with other dogs (with proper introductions).&nbsp; Would likely do best with older dog-savvy kids.&nbsp; Handles being alone for long stretches without any issues. Thrives on structure and routine, and is SO eager to please. Has the most soulful eyes. Scooby's family surrendered him because they could no longer keep him and he was rescued from the shelter at the very last minute by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/twentypawsrescue?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZhPqLNbQ-L-tiTzjiAiSzowLHKO6uxhHQ9bfqdaf8EuHeAd_hEpbjgCrlK7selTsRtc1oJF99y4-KhmFeWQInVFyVr0oN4MB8DQ4iZrbrxv3DaxI5KrRF8lwf8GxtC2ojYk9RAZVOE0oTNFhkjS&amp;__tn__=-%5DK-R" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Twenty Paws Rescue</a>.
