Food For The Poor is pleased to announce the 6th Annual “5K Walk/Run For Hunger” on Saturday, September 24, 2011. The walk was established to bring awareness to the chronic malnutrition affecting the Caribbean and Latin America. The South Florida community made a tremendous impact for the poor last year with over 500 walkers raising enough funds to feed more than 2,000 children for an entire year. This year we are moving to a different location and adding a race component for those who prefer a timed run.
