Heels Up 5K Benefit for HUB Ministry!

Good afternoon NWLA members! On Saturday March 21, 2026, our NWLA region plans to continue our long-standing support of the Heels Up! 5K Race benefitting Shreveport's HUB Ministry. Each year this race garners over 200+ runner & walker teams on average to support the HUB's initiatives for those seeking solace and representation during times of homelessness and domestic disturbance. Our NWLA region has shown support for HUB's community initiative for many years by volunteering and providing nutritious snacks for runners & teams- and this year, 2026, we aim to have our biggest show of support yet! 

Heels Up 5K 2026 will take place on Saturday March 21, 2026 in the Provenance neighborhood of South Shreveport. We aim to have at least 3-4 NWLA members on site to represent our NWLA region! We will have a tent set up with our merch and logo, as well as tables set with nutritious snacks for the racers. 

Snacks requested include: Fresh Fruits (Bananas, Apples, Oranges) ; Nut and Trail Mix packs ; Snack-packs of crackers, cookies, chips ; Nutri Grain bars ; Granola bars

        We will be collecting Snacks for donation at our March Membership Meeting, 3/10/26, at 2Johns! If you're unable to attend the meeting but still wish to donate, you can Venmo at @JKingMSN.

If you are able to volunteer to represent our NWLA region on Saturday March 21, we would be honored! Please reach out to co-reps Francheska Brown (hamilton5553@hotmail.com) and Jessica King (jkingrn09@gmail.com) by March 17.

We're also encouraging team formation! For any of our members who would like to form a team, please reach out to Francheska and Jessica so that we can connect you with registration!

We welcome your volunteerism and thank you in advance for helping make NWLA a major Shreveport community supporter!
