Hello,

It's that time again, to raise money and awareness for food insecurity, especially now with so many federal cuts. This is the 16th year of March for the Food Bank! Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 24 and 25.
For many years I have joined this amazing 43-mile march from Springfield to Greenfield, Massachusetts over two days to raise money for the Food Bank of Western MA.

I am a part of the team called "Cultivate Generosity". Beside reaching our goal, this march of awareness for food security is near and dear to our hearts.

Please donate to my fundraising page by clicking on the  blue "DONATE NOW" on my page.

Why I support: "I grew up on the other side of the tracks in Northern Jersey. Feel free to read between the lines. I was raised by a single mom, who worked more than one job to keep food on the table. I feel blessed to say I never went hungry.
I'm doing this walk now to support the thousands of people in need in our community that benefit from The Food Bank today. My family was one of them and I'm grateful for these organizations then and now."

In this time of Thanksgiving, Give thanks and Give.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. We hope to surpass last year's goal.
Thank you very much for your support -- and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate as well! For anyone who has already donated, thank you so much!

I'm doing all I can to raise awareness and funds for The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts and to help make moves to end hunger. Every $1 donated provides 3 healthy and nutritious meals to a neighbor in need. 
Thank you,
Chia
