Did you know that the oldest continual charity walk in the US benefits hunger relief efforts in Massachusetts? This year is the 39th such walk and will take place this Sunday May 6, 2007. The 20-mile walk begins at the Boston Common Parade Grounds at 7:00 AM and ends at 7:00 PM

In 2006 over $3.2 million was raised. Each year over 95,000 people participate in the event either as walkers or volunteers. In this one day, The Walk for Hunger provides fund needed to support 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, food banks, and food salvage programs in 135 communities throughout Massachusetts.

Walkers can register the morning of the event. Find out more at the Project Bread website.
