The Hunger Walk will bring over one thousand walkers and volunteers for the 35th Access Hunger Walk on Saturday, May 5, 2012. We walk rain or shine! Thank you to all of our sponsors who are partnering with us on this event! Sign up today and register to be a walker!
Tens of thousands of walkers have raised more than $5.5 million in thirty-four years of Hunger Walks in response to local and worldwide need. Funds are distributed for pantry assistance, emergency meals, urban gardening and farmers market initiatives for low income people, assistance for seniors and international development programs.
- Walk with us: Join over one thousand walkers on Saturday, May 5, 2012–we walk rain or shine! Check in begins at 8:00am at First United Methodist Church (207 E. Fulton at Barclay NE). The walk starts at 8:30am.
- Volunteer with us: Over 100 volunteers help our event run smoothly!
- Support us with a donation: Donate now to help eliminate hunger and reduce the impact of poverty! Make a designation of “Hunger Walk.”
Our goal this year is to collect $150,000! For more information, please contact Jennifer at 774-2175 x3 or jennifer@accessofwestmichigan.org.
