Don't forget to pick up your t-shirts:
All online registrants are eligible to receive a walker or runner t-shirt. You will have the opportunity to either have the t-shirt shipped for a nominal fee or elect to pick it up the following t-shirt distribution days:
March 6 - The Atlanta Community Food Bank 12-4pm (2021 shirts)
Find a trail near you and get walking or running!
Find a great outdoor trail near you to get your steps in and help feed a hungry neighbor. View the list of trails here.
Join your team, family or friends and get active in your community, walking or running at any time or join us virtually on March 7.
If your congregation isn't going to have a team this year, you can still walk! Join or donate directly to our Inspiritus team! The need is great, and your support will make all the difference.
Did Someone Say Sandwich?
On March 7, wear your 2021 Hunger Walk Run T-shirt to any local Arby's, purchase a small order of french fries and receive a free Classic Roast Beef Sandwich! Share the news with your friends and family and encourage them to register.
We have over 182 registered walkers and runners, 23 teams and $20,909 in confirmed gifts! Donations are still coming in as we write this.
Also, there will be no donation envelopes this year. Instead you can access the donation form here and include it with checks made out to Hunger Walk (not Inspiritus!) and put it in a regular mailing envelope.
Let's keep the momentum going and add more teams for our strongest turnout yet. Also, we have posters and cards you can share. If you'd like some, contact Sarah Burke or Lorraine Dorough today. Hunger Walk is a great chance to get outside, get active AND support a great cause!
With Gratitude,
– Lorraine Dorough
Inspiritus
Last year, 24 teams from congregations across metro Atlanta, plus our staff team at Inspiritus, raised $73,440.57 in support of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Inspiritus, and food ministries in their communities!
