Thank you for supporting Hunger Walk 2011
Aug 9, 2011
Thank You Team Pantry 2011 and all that donated to the team!!
Over 97 donors, volunteers, board members, and staff participated in the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s 26th Annual Hunger Walk on June 25, 2011. Staged from the south lawn at Soldier Field, the annual event is a 5K walk along Chicago’s lakefront and the largest single day anti-hunger event held in Chicago.
Supporters of Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry raised $20,000 during Hunger Walk 2011. The fundraiser is crucial to the Pantry as 100% of the money raised goes to the purchase of food. Food costs have gone up and federal monies for food have gone down. This fundraiser is crucial to the Pantry’s ability to provide food to those in need.
To all those in our Oak Park and River Forest communities who donate funds and energy to the Pantry — THANK YOU. Your efforts sustain the Pantry and enable us to fulfill our mission — working together to provide hunger relief in our community!
