Today is Sign-up Sunday for the Hunger Walk.
While world hunger can often be readily identified in those who suffer its devastating realities, can you recognize it in your own neighborhood? In Kent County, food insecurity may look like a family skipping meals or cutting back on the quality or quantity of food they purchase at the store. Perhaps a recent job loss has forced them to choose between paying the mortgage and supplying enough food. Over time, this recurring and involuntary lack of access to food leads to malnutrition for individuals and families.
Walk with us to help end hunger locally and globally.
Look for the sign-up table for this year’s Hunger Walk near [insert location] after the service. Sign up today!
