HFA CEO Joel Berg has so far driven more than 7,000 miles and visited anti-hunger organizations in 24 states. This month, he continues the Journey to End Hunger and will be visiting partners and meeting with elected officials in California, Washington State, Idaho, Colorado, Missouri, Utah, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to hear more updates from Joel and hunger fighters across the country.

This month, in partnership with our Associates Council, we've launched our first-ever virtual walk-a-thon! Sign up online and commit to walk 10 miles, wherever and whenever you'd like during the month of August. We've chosen to set 10 miles as our walk-a-thon goal because Americans living in food deserts must travel as many as 10 miles to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Nearly 40 million Americans live in a food desert. At Hunger Free America, we're working to change that by advocating for the policies needed to make sure ALL Americans have access to adequate nutrition.
 

If you raise more than $100 in our walk-a-thon, you'll be automatically entered to win one of three prizes from Queen Majesty Hot Sauce! Sign up here.
