The Walk Against Hunger provides much needed support for all of Foodshare's participating partner agencies. Over 128,000 people, including 50,000 children, are in need of emergency food assistance in the Greater Hartford area each year. Foodshare aims to end hunger by engaging the community in events such as the Walk Against Hunger in hopes of shedding light on the importance of this issue. Thanks to all of our donors and participants this year, Foodshare is able to continue its mission and hopes you'll join in the fight!
