The Altoona Iowa Running Club is excited to announce our charity partner for the ARC Oktoberfest 6k! We will be donating to Swerve Outreach/Altoona Kids Cafe to help support local at risk kids in the area. From things like their summer meals program, to getting track shoes for students Kids Cafe is just awesome! It is the perfect way for ARC to give back to the local community and help out youth runners.
This is Swerve Outreach's mission statement:
The mission of Swerve Outreach is to disrupt the effects of cyclical poverty on the youth in Eastern Polk County. By offering access to healthy meals, educational programming, positive role models, and basic life necessities we are providing opportunities and empowering children, youth, and their families to work around the barriers of poverty so that they can be healthy, successful members of our community.
