Did you get enough to eat today? More than 12%
of your fellow Georgians have trouble doing that each day.
They include the working poor, victims of physical or
mental illness, single parent families, people who have
lost jobs, the elderly, and many, too many, children.
The Hunger Walk is sponsored by the Atlanta Community Food Bank
and raises money for numerous community hunger relief programs
including several Jewish organizations. In fact, the Hunger Walk
used to be on Saturdays, but was changed to Sunday many years ago
to allow the Jewish community to participate.
Make our community and Mosaic proud by being an active participant this year.
It's easy! This is a fun 5 K walk that starts and finishes
at the home of the Braves, Turner Field, and loops through downtown.
There is water and entertainment along the way. There are thousands
of people out there helping to raise money for those in desperate
need. You can be one of them!
