Thank you for supporting my participation in the 2026 Friends of the Poor Walk on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at Heckscher State Park!
I rarely ask for money, but I do solicit donations once a year for this very worthwhile event. I don't think anybody should go to bed hungry There is not a lot I can do to solve hunger problems around the world. But you and I can make a difference here on Long Island by donating to St. Vincent de Paul
Plus, I get to walk 5K, which is about 4K more than I have walked all year!
Thank you for your support.
