Mayor Heartwell led the start of the walk in 2012.
Every community needs a hero. Someone with courage that will rise to the challenge. Someone with energy and excitement. Someone with dedication and a heart ready to serve. Will you be a hero?
A band of one thousand heroes will come together this May to take a stand against hunger. The annual Access Hunger Walk brings together 24 hunger-fighting agencies for a family-friendly 5k walk beginning in downtown Grand Rapids.
Registration starts at 8:00am and the Walk starts at 8:30am. The walk starts at 207 E Fulton (First United Methodist Church) and winds through Heritage Hill, down Wealthy Street, through the East Hills Neighborhood, along Cherry Street before returning downtown.
We will walk to raise funds and awareness in response to local and worldwide need. Funds are distributed for pantry assistance, emergency meals, urban gardening and farmers market initiatives for low income people, assistance for seniors, and international development programs.
Anyone who wants to join the fight against hunger and poverty is welcome! Grab your cape and join us. Uniting together, we can be heroes in our community.
Find out how your congregation, business, family and friends can get involved!
