City Utilities will host an event Saturday, October 25, to benefit Harmony House, Springfield’s only domestic violence shelter.
The Halloween Hustle 5k and 10k race will start at 9 a.m. from CU headquarters, 301 E. Central, and go down Commercial St. and through the Midtown Neighborhood.
This year’s event is Beetlejuice-themed. There will be trunk or treat locations along the route for kids of all ages.
Harmony House provides a safe place for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. It also offers resources such as food, clothing, court advocacy and life skills classes.
The shelter was started by a group of concerned citizens in 1976. Since then, it has served over 21,000 women, men and children.
