My family and I would like to invite everyone to join us for a brisk walk on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 11, that’ll be good for the heart, physically and spiritually. We’re walking in the Hunger Walk in Los Osos, beginning at Trinity United Methodist Church at 2 p.m. The Hunger Walk is a great family event and an opportunity for everyone to show they care about fighting hunger and poverty here and around the world.
Seventy-five percent of the money we raise will help local agencies served by the Food Bank Coalition of SLO County, while 25 percent will support vital international self-help development programs through Church World Service. Our three-mile walk that afternoon will help provide food to the hungry in our own communities, clean water wells in other lands, and assistance to other communities struggling to recover from natural disasters.
Please join us. Volunteer, sponsor a walker, or work those muscles with your own congregation or group. Call 528-1649 for more information.
