Religious Groups Unite to Raise Money for Statewide End to Hunger

On Sunday, Oct. 23, the 13th annual Interfaith Mini Walk for Hunger will raise $20,000 to benefit Project Bread, the leading statewide anti-hunger organization in Massachusetts. The nonprofit connects people and communities to reliable food sources and advocates for policies that make food more accessible for all.

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 various 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. There is no registration fee. To participate or to make a donation, visit: http://support.projectbread.org/site/TR/Walk/WalkforHunger?team_id=82354&pg=team&fr_id=1440&_ga=2.106805123.1676016033.1666197996-969073759.1666197996
