On Sunday, May 3, I will be participating in Project Bread’s 2009 Walk for Hunger. The 20-mile Walk route weaves through Boston, Brookline, Newton, and Cambridge. This will be my third Walk, and I hope that I can count on you all once again for your support.
Last year, I had an overwhelming response from my friends and family. I managed to raise $285. This translated into over 1400 pounds of food for the hungry! That’s a lot of warm meals. This year, I want to tip the scales and raise $500.
That’s right, five hundred dollars.
In order to achieve this, I am depending on the generosity of friends, colleagues, family, and kind strangers to donate whatever they can for this wonderful cause. If 20 people donate $25, then I’ve reached my goal! Project Bread’s 2008 Status Report on Hunger showed us that more than 522,000 people struggled to put food on the table this winter. Money raised through The Walk for Hunger funds more than 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, food banks, and food salvage programs in 128 communities across Massachusetts. Even if you can only spare $10, that’s equivalent to 50 lbs of food for somebody. Every little bit will help.
Please donate to my walk to help me make a difference and reach my personal fundraising goal. Thank you for your support of me and of hungry people.
Together we CAN make a difference!
