BGR Walk to Feed the Hungry NYC
New Milford: Register now for the 4 Mile Walk in Riverside Park!
Join us for a wonderful mix of fun, exercise, and of course, a great cause!
The Walk to Feed the Hungry is hosted by Buddhist Global Relief (BGR), a non-profit hunger relief organization. This is the 3rd annual walk in Riverside Park, NYC. Walking with us are not only buddhists, but interfaith clergy, secular colleagues, and all variety of friends and family. We are in this together!
Come early and wake up with the popular pre-walk Moving Meditation that starts at 9:00 am. Free vegetarian lunch will follow the walk at Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church on 82nd St. Rain or shine! You must register online in advance.
For any wishing to donate or fundraise, all proceeds will go towards BGR grants to partner organizations that give vital food aid and promote greater food productivity in communities in Asia, Africa, Haiti, and the United States. BGR Partners in NYC are currently the Reciprocity Foundation in Manhattan and Urban Rebuilding Initiative in the Bronx. A portion of the proceeds of this walk will go to Hour Children in Queens for their Food Pantry. A contribution will also go to the Holy Trinity RC Church for their Food Pantry.
FREE: Donations welcome.
