How does the Hunger Hike help?

hungerhike_benefactors

Hikers and their sponsors help meet the needs of hungry families in greater Lafayette, surrounding counties and Haiti. Donations go to food programs at the Lafayette Urban Ministry, Food Finders Food Bank, and St. Thomas Aquinas Haiti Ministry. Thousands of low income families depend on these programs for food security. What should I know about hunger?

  • There are 870 million people in the world who do not eat enough to be healthy. That’s one in eight. (United Nations World Food Programme)
  • At least 15% of American households are food insecure. (USDA Economic Research Service)
  • Over 9,000 (43%) Tippecanoe County school children receive free or reduced price lunches. (Indiana Youth Institute)
  • Food Finders Food Bank distributes more than 6 million pounds of food annually to Tippecanoe and 15 surrounding counties.
  • At $250 per capita income, 80% of the rural Haitian population lives in poverty. (World Bank)
  • The St. John’s/LUM Food Pantry serves 2,000 Tippecanoe County residents every month.

How much should I donate? One helpful suggestion is to consider a donation equal to 10% of your monthly food budget or the cost of fast food meals for a month. To donate to Hunger Hike, click HERE.

2013-04-20 HH5K 030 (2)

More than 75 runners and walkers were a part of the inaugural Hunger Hike 5K Run 2013 and Race to Feed the Hungry. The Hunger Hike 5K Run is open to runners of all ages and abilities who share a common goal: Fighting Hunger! It was a chilly morning but the skies were clear and the sun was shining — a perfect day for a race.

The Hunger Hike 5K Run 2013 convened at Munger Park (Greenbush Street entrance) with the start and finish at the shelter in Munger Park. The race followed their beautiful, paved lake-front Munger Park & Chatham Square trails. The latest “chip technology” was used to give all runners an accurate race result time.

The purpose of the Hunger Hike 5K Run is to use physical exercise to draw attention to and funds for “Feeding the Hungry.” All Hunger Hike 5K Run proceeds directly support the Lafayette Urban Ministry food assistance programs including the St. John’s/LUM Food Pantry, Food Finders Food Bank, and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Haitian Ministry including the Haiti Water Purification Project. Hunger Hike 5K Run gave serious runners an opportunity to support these outstanding local organizations while enjoying a 5K event.
