From Tennessee-
St. George's Episcopal Church is gearing up once more for the 16th annual Boulevard Bolt, a 5-mile run/walk held on Thanksgiving Day that has raised more than $1.2 million to benefit the homeless in Nashville.
The race is a collaborative volunteer effort organized by St. George's, The Temple and Immanuel Baptist Church. Twenty-three local agencies that serve the homeless in Nashville will receive funding from this year's race proceeds.
Last year's recipient agencies used race funds to support a wide range of programs, from providing homeless youths with backpacks containing street-survival supplies to adding a hot breakfast program at a local soup kitchen.
The race will start at 8 a.m., Thursday, at St. George's Episcopal Church, 4715 Harding Road.
