We Can’t Run This Race to End Hunger Without YOU!
WOW! Our Hunger Champions outdid themselves this past week as they raced to end world hunger with us in our annual 5k/10k walk or run, Rise & Stride™! Almost 500 people, from 13 different countries came together in honor of the communities we serve.
In communities around the world, the average walk a child takes to school is 3.1 miles. We know that a 3.1 mile walk can be tiresome, especially if you don’t have access to basic nutritional needs. That’s why we focus on providing meals in school-feeding programs, because the opportunities awaiting at the end of that walk to school are worth it. Education, recovery and hope are what we strive to provide for children, families, and entire communities worldwide.
Drum roll please for this year’s Rise & Stride Champions!
