Let's get moving to help end hunger

The global health crisis presents many challenges to our daily routines, but finding ways to stay active while giving back doesn’t have to be one of them!
To help us feed the children and families who are counting on us, we ask you to take part in our ‘Walk for Hunger’ challenge!

useful description of image if informative and not decoration only.

In the sub-Saharan countries, children walk an average of 3 miles / 5 km to school every day.

This journey through varied terrain and weather conditions creates the opportunity to gain an education AND to receive a nutritious Rise Against Hunger meal, the only meal of the day.

In honor of the children who inspire us daily, and to continue supporting the school feeding programs that support them, are you up for the challenge of walking (or running!) the distance they walk to school, or to school and back?


How does the challenge work?

The concept of a virtual race is quite similar to a classic road race. The only difference is that there is no aggregation on the start line: you can run or walk solo, with your pet or convene with your team of co- workers on any day or from any location.

Prefer running on your treadmill? Go for it. Like to jog around your house? Cool! Going to walk up and down your driveway? Fine by us!

Tie up your shoes and pretend sliding your feet into the non-existent shoes of an African child. Cover 3 miles / 5 km or more and help us make a lasting impact in the lives of the communities we serve. Remember, the race is only symbolic. Everyone is a winner.

Walking/Running is great, doing so with a purpose is better! It kicks in the extra motivation. It helps you go the extra mile. Share your accomplishment and challenge friends and family to join you.
