Dear all,
Break out your sunglasses, sunblock, and walking shoes! In good timing with
the incoming spring weather, Dudley House will proudly participate in the *Walk
for Hunger* charity event on Sunday, May 6th. Join us as a walker, sponsor,
or both in the largest public fundraising walk in the commonwealth!
*Team Dudley* will tackle the 20-mile course in two waves- so feel free to
join for just part of the route! The morning wave will meet at *8:30am* at
Dudley House and head over to the start point at Boston Common, and start
the route through the beautiful Public Gardens and downtown area. The
afternoon wave will meet at *12:30pm* at Dudley House and start the walk
along the Cambridge side of the Charles River, by Weeks Bridge. Shuttles
will also be available throughout the course to take you where you need to
get!
Pop in and out of the walk at your leisure! After, join us for a
*Dudley-sponsored
afterparty* with *beers, non-alcoholic beverages, and warm-weather snacks!*
Details of the afterparty will be announced to the team shortly.

You cover the registration fee, but we'll cover the afterparty!
This event is co-sponsored by Dudley Public Service and Dudley Food
Literacy.
*About the Walk for Hunger:*
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, sustain, and facilitate much-needed
programs that provide hope. You will be part of the powerful example of
what's possible when we join forces to create, advocate for, and support
meaningful change. In past 47 years, the Walk has generated more than $100
MILLION dollars through individual contributions of less than $100 - a
powerful demonstration of neighbors caring for neighbors.
Hope you can join us,
Your Public Service Fellows
