The 10th annual Hunger Walk to benefit the Northern Lehigh Food Bank will take place May 6, along the Slatington Rails to Trails.

The walk begins at 2 p.m. but arrive by 1:45 p.m. to sign in.

Organizers are looking for participants to walk the two miles from the food bank in Emerald into Slatedale and back again and to obtain pledges for contributions.

Anyone who registers before April 25 and has at least $25 in donations may receive a free T-shirt.

The event is sponsored by the Northern Lehigh Pastoral Association, which takes its motto from the Gospel of Matthew, “For I was hungry, and you gave me food.”

All proceeds will go directly to the food bank which assists local families in need.

Under the leadership of Dale Breyfogle, the food bank serves 250 households, approximately 800 people, monthly.

Help is needed for stocking shelves and food distribution. Call 610-767-9525 to volunteer.

Monetary contributions may be sent to the Northern Lehigh Food Bank, P.O. Box 255, Slatington, PA 18080.

For additional information on the Hunger Walk, call Patty at 610-391-9407.

The event is planned not only to raise money for the food bank but also to increase awareness of a need here in our own communities.
