Project Bread - The Walk for Hunger: The Walk for Hunger

The Walk for Hunger: Thank you!

Thank you Walkers, Volunteers, Donors, and Sponsors!

On Sunday, May 6, 2012, 43,000 people came to the Boston Common to raise $3.6 million for their hungry neighbors during Project Bread’s annual Walk for Hunger.

At Project Bread’s 44th annual Walk for Hunger, Mayor Thomas M. Menino welcomed an estimated 41,000 Walkers and 2,000 Volunteers to the Boston Common who raised millions for a wide range of community hunger relief programs across the state.

“We’re all heartened that our economy is showing signs of recovery,” said Ellen Parker, executive director of Project Bread, “but we know that over 700,000 people in Massachusetts struggle to put food on the table.”

We would like to thank our Walkers, Volunteers, sponsors, and donors for all of their hard work, dedication and support. Read full press release.
