MONANDOCK HUNGER WALK – May 2nd – United Church of Jaffrey, NH
A reminder that the church walking team is forming now! If you would like to join the team, please get your name on the team contact sheet. It’s on the bulletin board near the coffee station in the fellowship room. As we get names on the sheet, registration/sponsor sheets will be handed out. This Walk started out four years ago and has slowly been building a following of volunteer groups. Last year, over $10,000 was raised and 100% of that money went to area food pantries and school anti-hunger programs. That’s important help for local folks who have food challenges! Let’s go it a bit better this year! Join our little church’s walking team soon! Many thanks!
Got questions? See Susan Lindquist.
