A Fun Way to Support Our Community Together♥️♥️
Wintergarden Church is planting seeds of hope through its new nonprofit Nurturing the Neighborhood.
This initiative is dedicated to uplifting our community by providing
nourishing food and support to those who need it most.
To help bring this vision to life, we are hosting our very first 5K Run/Walk. The funds raised
will go directly toward strengthening Nurturing the Neighborhood ensuring that no neighbor has to face hunger or hardship alone.
Together, we can nurture hearts, feed hope, and grow a stronger community.
Beat Cupid to the finish line. Cupid can walk and be “last runner.”
