Walk Against Hunger 2008

Imagine our community without hunger

Saturday, April 12, 9:30 AM Kick-Off
Join thousands of Philadelphia-area individuals, businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, and service groups in walking against hunger.

Help bring attention to the issue by walking, talking about it among your friends, families, and co-workers, and by collecting contributions to support the fight against hunger. Form a Walk team or simply walk on your own. Either way, you can create your own Walk web page to get your friends and family from near and far involved.

One-Mile Stroll

Can't walk 6 miles but still want to show your support? Consider the One-Mile Stroll Against Hunger. You'll start your walk with everyone else, but when you get to the half-mile marker, you'll stop, enjoy some entertainment, and head on back to the Art Museum steps. Volunteers will be busily setting up for the morning's activities and you can always lend a hand. So come on down-every step helps in the fight against hunger!

Show You Care
Come out for a morning of exercise, food, entertainment, and fun. Form a team or simply walk with others who care about ending hunger. Click here to view photos of some of the thousands who have walked in years past.
