Each year, more than 2,000 Volunteers work together to make The Walk for Hunger fun, safe, and successful. Join us for the 2010 Walk for Hunger on Sunday, May 2nd, and be a part of this historic Massachusetts event!
Volunteer in the morning, the afternoon, or all day, it’s up to you. Whether you are beginning or continuing your commitment to helping hungry people, we have something for everyone!

Walk Day Volunteer Opportunities
Become a Heart & Sole Volunteer
Raise $500 or more and automatically become part of the Heart & Sole Circle. While all participants make a difference, these 1,500 members raised $1.5 million to feed hungry people last year. When you become a Heart & Sole Volunteer, you will receive a special T-shirt, be invited to special events throughout the year, and be listed in our annual report.
Organize a Team
We have lots of opportunities for groups of classmates, coworkers, and friends to help on Walk Day. Bring a team of two, twenty, or more! Check back in early February to register as a Volunteer Team Leader and set up a Team Webpage. In the meantime, start emailing your friends and family to join your team.
Be a Stationary Marshal
We need smiling faces to keep Walkers safe and happy by directing them along the Walk route. You can choose your favorite part of the route and we’ll provide the training (not to mention a free Volunteer T-shirt!).
Be a Checkpoint Volunteer
Are you friendly and organized? Walkers need water, encouragement, and stamped pledge sheets at each of our nine checkpoints along the Walk route. We need you to make this happen!
Be a Boston Common Registration Volunteer*
We need 200 Volunteers to join us in the morning on the Boston Common. There’s nothing like witnessing the start of the Walk, where thousands of dedicated individuals will be gathered together to end hunger in Massachusetts. Check in Walkers and send them off with a smile.
*Registration Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and attend a brief training before Walk Day. Call Volunteer Coordinator Christa Frintner at 617-239-2546 for more details.
Be a Finish Line Volunteer
We need energetic Volunteers to cheer on Walkers and congratulate them as they take that final step over the finish line on the Boston Common.
Be a First Aid Volunteer
Are you a nurse, doctor, or EMT? Help keep our Walkers safe and healthy by administering basic first aid on the Boston Common and at each checkpoint along the Walk route.
Be a Setup or Breakdown Volunteer
Don’t mind getting a little dirty and volunteering before the sun rises or after it sets? Join our Setup or Breakdown Crews and help unload and load supply boxes and setup and takedown tables, chairs, and tents on the Common. This is a great team-building opportunity for groups!
