*Other Public Service Events next week: *
*DONATE AND WALK FOR HUNGER*
*May 3*
*This year Dudley Public Service Team will proudly participate again in the
Walk for Hunger charity fundraising event. Join us as a walker, sponsor, or
both in the largest public fundraising walk in the Commonwealth! *
Every May, over 40,000 people walk all or part of a 20-mile course through
Greater Boston, earning the pledges they’ve collected to support Project
Bread’s fresh approach to ending hunger in our state. Together, we raise
awareness of the reality of hunger in our state, make a powerful statement
about our shared commitment to help people in need, and importantly, raise
funds that make it possible to develop, fund, and facilitate much-needed
programs that provide hope. YOU will set the example of what is possible
when we join forces to create, advocate for, and support meaningful change.
Last year, Project Bread funded over 400 community food programs and
provided more than 60 million meals to those in need.
You can both join our team in walking and/or make donations on our website:
http://support.projectbread.org/goto/dudleyhouse2015
Please RSVP to dudleypublicservice(a)gmail.com by May 1st if you would like
to take part in this great event.
