PSA: The Walk For Hunger
Hi All,
If you remember, I did this a few years ago and I wouldn't send it your way if it wasn't a cause I believed in. Every year, the city of Boston shuts down for the 20-mile walk to help end hunger in Massachusetts... this will be my 7th year participating. Here the generic blurb with further information:
My personal walk page can be found here: http://www.projectbread.org/site/TR/Walk/General?px=2061467&pg=personal&fr_id=1180 I'm almost to my (third) goal with less than a week until the walk. Any and all donations are greatly accepted and appreciated. Thank you for your time.On Sunday, May 6th, I will be participating in Project Bread's 2012 Walk for Hunger. I hope that you will support me in my efforts to raise money to help end hunger in Massachusetts!
Why am I walking? Because hungry families need our help! Food insecurity continues to rise in Massachusetts with over 700,000 people struggling to put healthy food on the table ? that is 10.8% of our neighbors that need our help right here in our own backyard.
The money I raise by walking part or all of the entire 20-mile route will help Project Bread fund hunger relief and prevention through 450 emergency programs, schools, community health centers, farmers' markets, community suppers, home care organizations, and other programs that protect the individual and strengthen our community's food security. Last year alone, programs funded with money from the Walk were able to provide 65.2 million meals to hungry people.
Please sponsor my Walk to help me make a difference and reach my fundraising goal. Thank you for your support!
Together we CAN make a difference, protect the individual, and strengthen our community!
