Register for the Hunger Walk
Supporting the Hunger Task Force, WAFER and other non-profit food organizations
“Did you know that in the U.S., one of the world’s wealthiest countries, more than 11% struggle to get enough food to eat each day. 25.2% of people in La Crosse County live in poverty. 19 schools in the greater La Crosse area operate some kind of food pantry for their students.”
Come out and join us to support the food pantries in the Coulee Region.
This is a fundraiser, with 30% going to The Hunger Task Force, 30% to WAFER Food Pantry and 40% to whatever nonprofit food organization you as the walker choose. That could be Lutheran World Hunger, Onalaska Food Pantry, a school district, etc. You can get pledges from family and friends, or make a donation yourself.
Pledge forms/registration forms are available at couleeregionhungerwalk.org. Or you can simply make a donation at the website as well.
