Thank You for Participating in Hunger Walk Run 2021!
/Hello Friends,
What an amazing Hunger Walk Run we had this past Sunday! So many supporters showed up for Inspiritus, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and local food ministries/pantries. We want to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and participation.
Even though we couldn't walk together this year at the Home Depot Backyard, many congregations reported a record number of members coming out for virtual walks around their neighborhoods!
Congratulations to Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Marietta for having the largest number of registered walkers and runners with 43.
Congratulations to our Newest Champions:
Rev. Mary Armstong-Reiner, St. John Lutheran Church, Griffin
Barbara Arne & Heather Wallace, St. John's Lutheran Church, Atlanta
Stacy Fisher, Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd/Daily Bread, Douglasville
Chuck Storla, Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Marietta
Becky White, Trinity Lutheran Church, Lilburn
Most of all, we had some very impressive totals that we just have to share:
$41,456 in confirmed online donations
480 donations
27 teams
286 registered walkers/runners
Hunger Walk was a great success because of you. And you rose to the challenge of doing something totally new with the event going virtual! We won't know the final totals for at least a month since donations will continue to come in through the end of March, but we do know that there may be some surprises in the top ten.
It was such a great chance to get outside, get active AND support a great cause. We're already looking forward to next year!
With Gratitude,
– Lorraine Dorough
