20 Miles for Hunger
Published by Elana March 22nd, 2007 in Volunteer Work & Charitable Giving.I mentioned some time back I would be participating in the Project Bread Walk for Hunger this year. Today, I officially registered. Check out my fundraising page and help me make my goal!
As incentive, here’s a video of The Daily Show correspondent Dan Bakkedahl participating in the annual walk:

The Walk for Hunger is Sunday, May 6, 2007. Join 40,000 Walkers and 2,000 volunteers and be part of the effort to end hunger in Massachusetts!
You can walk all 20 miles or just part of the route. Buses are available at each checkpoint to bring you back to the Common. Walk with classmates, coworkers, a religious group, friends or family!
Volunteers are also needed to hand out snacks, water, and more. It’s a great family activity, so bring the kids, wear the free volunteer T-shirts, and teach your children about giving back. Bring a group, or come by yourself and meet new people. Volunteer for a morning or afternoon shift, or stay all day – it’s up to you.
Whether you are beginning or continuing your commitment to helping hungry people, there is something for everyone! Learn more and register online at www.projectbread.org/walk.
I would love to, but I’ll have to see if we have the money in the budget.
