In its 15th year, the VA 2K Walk and Roll event is Wednesday, May 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the VA’s Walla Walla campus, 77 Wainwright Drive. The public is invited to walk the short 1.2-mile course, browse the information tables and participate in a scavenger hunt and karaoke. Donations — such as toiletries, cleaning supplies, water bottles, backpacks, pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, sweats, underwear, socks — will be accepted to be distributed to homeless veterans.
