The Walk for Hunger – This Sunday, May 5

by UPB Editor, May 02, 2024

The big day is this Sunday!  We have about 15 walkers signed up, but we know there are more who will meet with us in the church parking lot at 8:30 am on Sunday.  We will take a picture of the group, dedicate our Walk, and take the MBTA Green Line (please bring $2.40 or your Charlie Card; children under 12 – no fare) to the Boylston stop for the Boston Common.  Anyone registered can collect a button and t-shirt.  We will also get a United Parish Team sign.  If you do not see us, gather at the balloon arch.  We will walk back to church together from there (3.2 miles).

You can also join us by contributing online here:  https://give.projectbread.org/team/571948.  So far we have collected $2,350 towards this Project Bread Walk fundraiser to fight hunger in Massachusetts.  But, our Mission Giving Team has promised to match contributions up to $5,000!  Bring cash, or a check (to Project Bread, with United Parish Team in the memo section) to the Walk.  Or, come to Coffee Hour one last time to contribute in our tin.  We will also forward any contributions sent to the church office.

We thank you for helping with contributions of any size.  Participating in this Walk is United Parish’s wonderful complement to our Thanksgiving meal and Brookline Food Pantry hosting in the fight for adequate food for all.
