Souper Striders Walk For Hunger
On May 2nd, a team of Kettle Cuisine employees participated in Project Bread's Walk for Hunger. Team Souper Striders laced up their sneakers and walked alongside 42,000 walkers to help raise a whopping $3.8 million for the fight against hunger.
Since 1969, the Walk for Hunger has been a tradition in Massachusetts. Today, the Walk has become the country's oldest continual pledge walk and the largest one-day fundraiser to alleviate local hunger.
On the first Sunday in May each year, more than 40,000 Walkers and 2,000 Volunteers start off from the Boston Common weaving through Boston, Brookline, Newton, and Cambridge to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors. In Massachusetts, more than 554,000 people do not have enough food to eat. The Walk for Hunger raises millions of dollars for the 400 emergency food programs that support families in crisis.
We are honored to have the opportunity to help make a positive difference in our own community and to play a small role in the fight against hunger and we had a fun time doing it.
