Smith Mountain Lake Walk to End Poverty

The Smith Mountain Lake Walk to End Poverty is an annual 5k and 10k walk/run event held at Smith Mountain Lake State Park in Huddleston, VA. Organized by Lake Christian Ministries, the event aims to raise funds to support local families facing poverty, especially young families with children. Participants can join individually or as teams to help provide food assistance, financial aid for housing, and utility restoration.

The event fosters a community atmosphere focused on making a difference, with a special $1-for-$1 matching donation challenge to double contributions up to $50,000. This walk highlights the growing economic challenges in the area and supports comprehensive aid programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
