Walk to End Summer Hunger
All Faiths Food Bank is proud to present, once again, a popular event designed to raise awareness of and funds to end child hunger. On Sunday, March 26, All Faiths will hold its Walk to End Summer Hunger, the kick-off for the 10th annual Campaign Against Summer Hunger, which supports efforts to feed area children when they do not have access to food at school. Nearly 50% of Sarasota County and 100% of DeSoto County students rely on free and reduced-cost meals at school. The summer months can be especially difficult for the children of families struggling to put food on the table, as they lose access to meals as well as school pantries that provide nutritional assistance during the school year. From April 1-May 15, All Faiths Food Bank’s Campaign Against Summer Hunger – the community’s strongest line of defense against child hunger – returns for its tenth year. The 2023 Campaign co-chairs are Clare Segall and Lisa Keverian-Press; lead investors are Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation and Gulf Coast Community Foundation. The walk takes place at Nathan Benderson Park (5851 Nathan Benderson Cir., Sarasota); the site opens at 7:30 a.m. and the walk starts at 8:30 a.m. Participants can choose between a one-mile “fun walk” or a 5K walk. Cost is $25/adults, $15/children; cost includes a dri-fit shirt and light breakfast. Register by March 13 at affb.org/walk. For more information, contact Becky Wright: [email protected] or 941-549-8131. For more about All Faiths, visit allfaithsfoodbank.org.
