Shala Wall is a volunteer and foster parent.
She said many kids do not get a chance to pack a bag before they are taken from their homes.
She said events, like the 5k, help them to stock up on these items and makes the process the process that much easier.
"I was a foster parent who got a kid at 10 at night," Walls explained. "I had to run to Walmart and buy the kid all of this stuff because she didn't have anything. We've been in this for five years and have had several kids in that situation."
