Yesterday was the Walk for Hunger, and it was lovely to walk along the Charles River and see the trees budding and hear the migrating birds singing. Thanks to everyone who enabled me to surpass my $5,000 goal! You have been so generous to me during my 38 years of walking. If you haven’t had a chance and would like to donate online, for my personal Walk page click here. I’ll mail you this year’s sketch, which I posted two weeks ago; here’s my “thank you sketch” from last year.
The food pantries and soup kitchens funded by the Walk are likely to come under increased stress in coming years. The House version of the Farm Bill now before Congress would tighten restrictions to qualify for food stamps. If passed, this would mean millions more adults and children could go hungry.
