Walk For Hunger- Project Bread
|
We don't think kids and families should be hungry, so we'll be doing the Walk again this year, so we look forward to our generous sponsors to donate, while we hoof it for 20 miles! Years ago, my daughter Bridget wanted to help those in need, so we've done this a few times. Check out the pictures and story of a past walk. Many thanks to our donors, who gave, despite a very hard financial year. We met our goal and raised enough money for more than a ton of food for needy people! |
