44,000 take part in Walk for Hunger in Mass.
May 3, 2009


BOSTON—Organizers of Project Bread's Walk for Hunger say this year's event attracted a record 44,000 people and raised nearly $4 million for food pantries across Massachusetts.

Participants flooded Boston-area streets Sunday as they walked the 20-mile route from Boston Common to Newton and back. The route ran from Beacon Street to Brookline, Newton, Watertown and Cambridge before returning to the Common.

Project Bread says fundraising will continue through May with a goal of $4.1 million. About $3.8 million was collected Sunday.

Last year's Walk for Hunger raised more than $4 million.

Project Bread gives donations to more than 400 emergency food programs in 128 communities statewide.

Hallelujah! People do have their priorities straight in helping fellow Americans, rather than foreign intruders who are doing their best to turn this county into a third world nation like the one they came from.
Thanks for brightening my evening, Richard!

Outstanding!
