Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high rates of job losses, and unprecedented economic uncertainty, we are seeing the rates of food insecurity rise. Right now, 1 of 8 (13 out of every 100) Minnesotans are experiencing hunger. In 2019, it was 1 in 11 (9 out of every 100).
Your donation to the Walk to End Hunger is more important than ever before. You can start giving today.
So many of you have been donating to my Walk each year. I understand if you cannot give as generously as you have in the past. But every dollar from $1 to $1000 is helpful for helping SMMOW reach its 2020 goal ($5000) this year as well as towards my personal goal ($200).
How will the "Walk" be virtual?
On Thanksgiving Morning at 10:00 am, a 30 minute program focusing on hunger in Minnesota, an introduction to our partner organizations, entertainment, cooking segments, activities, and more will be broadcast live on both the Walk to End Hunger YouTube channel, and the Walk to End Hunger's Facebook page.
The Kids Table, a children focused program, will immediately follow the Walk to End Hunger virtual event with entertainment and activities for the kids at home.
Join me as I watch from my kitchen on Thanksgiving morning.
