Walk for Hunger 2024

Mass Farmers Markets is excited to be part of Project Bread's 56th Annual Walk for Hunger on Sunday, May 5th, 2024. We've established a team, and we invite you to help us in our fundraising efforts by joining us through our team page: Mass Farmers Markets Team Page. Of the funds we raise, 60% will support our initiatives at Mass Farmers Markets, focusing on local anti-hunger programs, and 40% will contribute to Project Bread’s statewide initiatives.

This year, there are four exciting options to participate in the Walk for Hunger:

  1. Register to join main Project Bread Walk for Hunger 3-mile "Walk the Common" on Sunday, May 5th.

  2. Register for the “Walk Your Own Way” walk in your own neighborhood on Sunday, May 5th.

  3. Register to join our Executive Director, Edith Murnane, for a specially curated 3-mile "Foodie Walk" through the North End, Copley, Greenway, or Chinatown—more details to come.

  4. If walking is not for you, you can still support our efforts by donating and cheering us on from home.

In Massachusetts, where 1 in 4 families are facing food insecurity, your involvement can significantly impact. By contributing to our team, you're supporting the health and wellbeing of families and seniors in our community and bolstering the fight against hunger across the state.
