Our Second Annual Light the Way 5K

This event promotes wellness: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, occupational, environmental, and intellectual health. In addition, the 5K will help bring awareness for one of our local communities: UIW Food Pantry. The UIW Community Food Pantry along with St. Vicent de Paul. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul operates a food "co-op" with its 75 Conferences in South Texas through the dedication of over 2,300 Vincentians. Emergency food, clothing, and other assistance are provided at no cost to the recipient. The vendors for this race will be at the UIW campus on Saturday, November 23rd for LIGHT THE WAY festivities.
