We are very proud to announce the 10th Annual HONOR OUR HEROES 5K MEMORIAL RUN!

___OLDSMAR CARES_ [https://oldsmarcares.org/] is a for-impact 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates solely on the support of volunteers and donors. Serving the local community since 1997, we offer assistance as a food pantry, clothing closet, and other essentials, such as temporary rent and utility assistance, to those facing difficult times while keeping families together.

ON SATURDAY, 24 MAY 2025, and in recognition of Memorial Day, we continue our collaboration and veteran outreach with _VFW POST 12186._ [http://www.VFW12186.org] Our two distinguished nonprofit organizations are a 100% all-volunteer force. We are working together for a better community, and all net proceeds from the event will go toward supporting our efforts to serve residents, families, veterans, and community projects.
