SAFEhaven Kinderschuhe offers great way to help kids!

Join the NBU SAFEhaven volunteers on Saturday, April 19 when they host the annual SAFEhaven 5K Kinderschuhe Run/Walk in beautiful Landa Park! The event will raise money through a $15 registration fee with all proceeds going to help Communities in Schools (CIS) purchase shoes for area low-income school children. The first 200 paid participants will receive a SAFEhaven Kinderschuhe 5K t-shirt and refreshments will be available after the event. There will also be a kid’s 1K and 1/2 K that is free without a shirt and $10 with a shirt.

SAFEhaven programs are volunteer employee projects of NBU designed to promote the health and vitality of the community and the safety and comfort of its residents. NBU learned from CIS that new shoes are a big expense for low-income families and an area where we might be able to help out through the SAFEhaven program.
