Different Religions Unite for Interfaith Mini Walk for Hunger

On Sunday, Oct. 22 at 2 p.m., the 14th annual Interfaith Mini Walk for Hunger will raise $20,000 to benefit Project Bread, the leading statewide anti-hunger organization in Massachusetts.

The 3-mile family friendly walk will start and end at Temple Beth David in Westwood. As in previous years, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus from surrounding towns will participate. Walkers are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to local food pantries. You need not be a member of a house of worship to participate in the Walk. Virtual participation is also available.

As 1 in 5 households in Mass. struggle with food insecurity, Project Bread connects people and communities to reliable food sources and advocates for policies that make food more accessible for all. Money raised from the annual Walk will fund statewide hunger prevention efforts, advocacy for permanent policies that solve hunger, and local partnerships with organizations and people with lived experience with hunger to develop community-driven solutions.

People experiencing food insecurity should call into Project Bread’s toll-free FoodSource Hotline (1-800-645-8333), which provides confidential assistance to connect with food resources, including SNAP benefits, in 180 languages and for the hearing impaired.
