Thank you to all of the sponsors and walkers who this year made the walk for St. Vincent’s a huge success. We raised in excess of $5,000.00, our best tally for any Hunger Walk that we’ve participated in.

The Greater Chicago Food Depository's Annual Hunger Walk is a major event that raises funds to help the 600 food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters in our community that the Depository supports.

This year the Hunger Walk starts at Soldier Field, proceeds south along the lakefront to 31st Street, then returns north to Soldier Field. Please see the PDF file 2010 Hunger Walk Map & Directions for a detailed map of the walk, and directions on how to travel to, and where to park at Solider Field.

The Outreach Commission is looking for walkers and sponsors for the St. Vincent's contingent of this 5K (3.5 mile) walk, which directly benefits our Seton Food Pantry. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow parishioners and to join together for a wonderful cause!

This year we need 50 walkers to meet our minimum goal (and to raise $5000.00.) Walkers/sponsors earn bonus food credit for the Food Pantry: for every $1 a sponsor/walker donates, four meals are provided through the Depository's Matching Grant Program. The Hunger Walk is the Outreach Commission’s only fundraiser for the year, and provides a significant portion of the food required to support our yearly needs at the pantry.

The Hunger Walk will occur no matter the weather, rain or shine. Children are welcome and will be counted as walkers, but parents must provide for their safety and mobility, by providing strollers, carriers, etc.

If you cannot join us for the walk, we need your support as a sponsor for those who will be participating. For walkers and sponsors, the 2010 Pledge Form is available as a printable PDF file. Also, walkers, sponsors, parishioners and friends can make monetary donations directly to the Parish Team's effort by visiting the St. Vincent Direct Donation page on the Food Depository's web-site.
