Santas run for the food pantry - LaSalle News Tribune

Hundreds of people dressed as Santa took to the streets this morning to support the Hall Township Food Pantry in Spring Valley.

All the proceeds from the third annual Santas on the Run race/walk benefited the pantry, and 1,417 pounds of food was collected from runners.

Along with the 493 runners, there were around 80 volunteers as well, said race organizer Bob Zeglis. 

He expects the race raised close to $4,000 for the pantry (the race raised around $2,500 and more than 1,000 pounds of food last year).
