We did it! 20 more miles. And you did it! Together, the Fiala friends & family raised $1300 to fight hunger. Thank you so much for rallying together with us in our efforts. And our team raised over $6750!
“The opposite of hungry isn’t full; the opposite of hungry is healthy.” -Ellen Parker
Because of your kindness we made our goal raising $1000 to fight hunger.
As most of you are aware, fighting the hunger problem in America is an effort we have chosen to support every year and one we believe is an important way we can actively participate in bettering our community.
As the state’s leading antihunger organization, Project Bread is dedicated to alleviating, preventing, and ultimately ending hunger in Massachusetts. In addition to organizing the annual Walk for Hunger and supporting emergency food programs statewide, Project Bread also advocates systematic solutions that prevent hunger in children and that provide food to families in everyday settings.
Your donation went a long way!
- $20 provides 40 people at a soup kitchen with a bowl of hot soup and a sandwich.
- $100 provides a week’s supply of groceries for five families.
- $500 allows a community health center to provide immediate food assistance to 25 hungry families. (We each raised $500)
- $1000 permits a food pantry to give a week’s supply of groceries to 50 families in need. (The Fiala total goal)
Project Bread fights hunger and advocates change in the community in which we live. It is an organization we believe in and choose to support year after year. We thank you for your support and solidarity in fighting hunger.
To everyone who supports the fight against hunger,
Thank you,
Jeannette and Josh
