Why Walk Against Hunger?
- More than 1 in 7 households in Connecticut are at risk for hunger
- One third of those who receive food assistance are children
- Money raised goes directly to providing groceries and hot meals to hungry children, families, seniors and individuals in Fairfield, Litchfield, New Haven, New London, Middlesex and Windham Counties.
- These numbers are not statistics… they are your family, friends and neighbors.
