5K for the Hungry...

As a member of the Board of Missions and Social Action at church I am constantly getting pulled into local events - something I am really beginning to enjoy! This last Sunday the church participated in the Annual Inland Valley Hope Partners "Walk for the Hungry. IVHP serves some 7 food banks in the IE which feeds close to 75,000 families! This is one of their biggest fundraisers of the year and were expecting 1000 participants. We showed support with 15 people from our church... it was a real challenge in the heat but such a worthy cause...

I put a post up on face book and asked just about everyone from work and was able to raise $160 for the cause... It's awesome to think if everyone was able to do the same a huge impact for the hungry was made in our back yard.
