Location: St. Mark’s Church – Cold Spring & Graniteville Rd.
Description: GREATER LOWELL WALK & RUN FOR HUNGER – One Action, Eight Charities, and Thousands Served! Support the local charities that battle hunger in our Merrimack Valley Communities. Participate in the 33rd Annual Greater Lowell Walk & Run for Hunger on Saturday, April 4. beginning at 8:00 AM at St. Mark’s Church, 75 Cold Spring Road, Westford. This unique event that supports eight local charities now offers three options for walkers, runners and families. There will be 3 routes available to walk or run along a scenic route through Westford and Chelmsford. Walkers, fun run participants and competitive runners seeking training distances can choose a 4.2, 8.8 or 13.2 mile course to complete. Crossing guards are posted at all street intersections, with first aid services, a peanut butter and jelly lunch with fruit and beverages at West Chelmsford United Methodist Church, and van rides (if needed) back to St. Mark’s throughout the day.
This is an excellent way for local youth to support those in need and take part in a fitness activity while meeting club, community service and National Honor Society application requirements. Participants will receive a free Walk for Hunger T-shirt with every $125 brought in at registration. This annual event provides needed funding for eight vital charities that battle hunger in the Merrimack River Valley including The Alternative House, The House of Hope, The Lowell Transitional Living Center, The Open Pantry of Greater Lowell, The Merrimack Valley Food Bank Mobile Pantry, and the food pantries in Westford and Chelmsford. In addition, our national outreach program, Sharing, Inc. receives charitable assistance to support their mission to eliminate poverty and hunger wherever they exist.
