Why We Walk. 1 in 11 people in the world go hungry, in war-torn places like Sudan, Gaza, and Yemen. Half of all child deaths (2 million annually) are caused by malnutrition. Sadly, U.S. aid cuts have put lives at risk. Food insecurity affects families even in affluent Arlington. About 4,200 families rely on AFAC groceries each week. And two weeks ago, Community Assistance at Mount Olivet provided food to more than 500 families, up from 400 a year ago. Cuts in federal food programs have increased need.

We Can Make A Difference! So let’s Get Walking! Enjoy the fall foliage. Get a little exercise. And help feed hungry people.
