Hunger Walk to Benefit Area Food Banks

The Monteagle Sewanee Rotary Club will host the First Annual Hunger Walk benefiting both the Sewanee-based Community Action Committee (CAC) and Monteagle-based Morton Memorial Food Pantry on Saturday, April 25.
“Morton distributes 8,000 pounds of food a month on the Mountain, and CAC distributes another 1,000 pounds a month. Rotary wants to help raise awareness of poverty and hunger in our communities. That’s why we’re so excited about this event,” said John Goodson, president of Monteagle Sewanee Rotary. “We hope everyone will come out and join us.”
Walkers will register at 9 a.m. in Sewanee at the Sewanee Angel Park. The Hunger Walk will begin at 10 a.m. with walkers traveling from Sewanee’s Angel Park onto the Mountain Goat Trail and walking to Pearls Café and returning to Otey Parish, a total of five miles. The Hunger Walk will end at Otey Parish, where a complimentary lunch will be served to all registrants.
Registration is $10 in advance or on the morning of The Hunger Walk. Interested participants can register and find more information online at <www.thehungerwalk.com> or on Facebook at <facebook.com/sewanee hungerwalk> or by calling 968-1127.
