END SUMMER HUNGER

WALK TO END SUMMER HUNGER

You can walk and end summer hunger! Help provide food for more than 11,000 local kids who normally receive free and reduced-fee breakfasts and lunches during the school year. Walk to any Thursday Live at Lunch concert at the Bellevue Galleria and donate cash or much needed food items to restock Hopelink’s food banks during the summer. You will help support more than 12,700 individuals served by Hopelink’s food banks. Funds raised will also provide emergency services to families in our community.
