The 28th Annual Miles for Meals Walk, hosted by the Henry County Council on Aging, will take place on Saturday, May 7 at Heritage Park from 10 a.m. to noon, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. The walk is returning after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Proceeds from the event will go toward services and programs for senior citizens in Henry County.

The walk will take participants on trails throughout Heritage Park with accommodations to fit all fitness levels. A one-time registration fee of $25 is required. Each walker will receive an event t-shirt, lunch ticket, and automatic entry into a raffle for door prizes. There will also be a DJ spinning tunes and vendors.

The Miles for Meals walk, which is the oldest fundraising walk in Henry County, was developed by the Henry Council on Aging to support its mission to subsidize and sustain programs and services for Henry County’s senior citizens. The event is held on the first Saturday of May each year in observance of Older Americans month.

The Henry County Council on Aging is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting services for senior adults and acting as advocates on their behalf.
