Help raise awareness about hunger, and support the health of our neighbors at the first-ever Walk For Hunger Event. Illinois Extension will sponsor this event on Saturday, May 6, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at Centennial Park, Rock Falls, IL.
To participate, bring one healthy, shelf-stable, food item that will be donated to the Sauk Valley Food Bank, to be distributed to local food pantries.
Check in with your food item at the Larson shelter upon arrival Enjoy fun, family, activities along the walking path, as you take steps to end hunger. Activities include wild mammals of Illinois; wild and wacky weather; buzzing insects; celebrating pollinators led by Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists.
As our first-ever Walk for Hunger event, we hope to have the community rally around this critical need. Registration is not required. Bring the family or friends; push a youngster in a stroller.
