The annual Hunger Walks brings out hundreds of participants

Join Us at Hunger Walk

The 34th Annual Hunger Walk took place on September 7, 2019.

Chicago’s largest annual anti-hunger rally raises funds and awareness to end hunger. Hunger Walk takes place in Jackson Park and is two miles long. The event supports our network of soup kitchens, pantries, and shelters.
