Hunger Hike is an annual community fundraising event whose mission is to raise the awareness of and make a difference in the Fight Against Hunger. Hunger Hike is open to participants of all ages and abilities who share a common goal: Fighting Hunger! The Hunger Hike main event is our annual celebration at Riehle Plaza — immediately followed by the 1.5 K Walk. All Hunger Hike Walk proceeds directly support Lafayette Urban Ministry, Food Finders Food Bank Inc., and St. Thomas Aquinas’ Haitian Ministry.
