Join the Walk to End Hunger
This year, consider taking a walk before your Thanksgiving meal. Join Catholic Charities in our efforts to end hunger in the Twin Cities by participating in the 2010 Walk to End Hunger at the Mall of America on Thanksgiving Day, November 25.
Last year, Catholic Charities’ Branch I food shelf in Minneapolis had a 54 percent increase in the number of households served. You can make a difference by joining Catholic Charities' team to raise money and collect food donations to feed people in our community.
It’s easy to join the Catholic Charities Hungerbusters team:
- Go to the Walk to End Hunger website (www.walktoendhunger.org)
- Click on Register Here at the top of the page, then select Join a Team
- Select the Catholic Charities team, then complete your registration ($25 registration fee for adults/no registration fee for those under 18). Make your own donation and set your fundraising goal
After you register and join our team, use the tools on the website to ask friends, family and colleagues to support you by making donations. Everyone who raises $100 (in addition to your registration fee) will receive the 2010 Walk to End Hunger T-shirt. If you can’t make it to the walk, you can still donate online at www.walktoendhunger.org. Click on General Donation and make sure to select Catholic Charities as the target for your donation.
Join us on November 25 and give thanks by giving to help others. For all the event details go to www.walktoendhunger.org.
