Hunger Walk

SHERRI BARNETT AND TINA BRYSON ARE HERE TO TELL US ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN APPALACHIAN PROJECT’S SEVENTH ANNUAL HUNGER WALK HAPPENING NEXT WEEK.

THE CHRISTIAN APPALACHIAN PROJECT (CAP) WILL BE HOLDING ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL HUNGER WALK ON MAIN STREET IN MOUNT VERNON ON THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 2018. THIS EVENT RAISES AWARENESS ABOUT FOOD INSECURITY IN APPALACHIA. COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE RYAN QUARLES WILL BE AT THE WALK TO CONTINUE TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.

CAP DISTRIBUTES ABOUT 49,000 POUNDS OF FOOD EACH MONTH TO FAMILIES AND ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS THROUGH CAP’S GRATEFUL BREAD FOOD PANTRY AND THE USDA COMMODITY SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM. LAST YEAR’S HUNGER WALK BROUGHT IN 2,404 POUNDS OF FOOD.
