Two weeks from today, on May 6th, I will be walking 10 miles for my 38th Walk for Hunger. Below is my “thank you painting” I will mail to those who make a pledge to my walk.
One out of eleven Massachusetts residents are “food insecure.” The money raised by Walk pledges goes directly to the Newton Food Pantry and 400 other soup kitchens and food pantries across Massachusetts who offer free food to those who would otherwise go hungry. Donations go a long way because they are raised by volunteers and most of these pantries and soup kitchens are run by volunteers, plus the food is obtained from the Greater Boston Food Bank (which receives donations from grocery stores) for only 12¢ a pound.
I was honored last month to receive a “Walk of Fame” Award for raising over $50,000 in my history on the Walk. If you would like to sponsor me, click here to go to my my personal Walk page.
