Save the Date - 24th Annual Hunger Walk

Staff and volunteers of the Chicago Christian Industrial League (CCIL) and more than 5,000 others will join the march against hunger on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at Montrose Harbor. The 24th Annual Hunger Walk directly benefits participating food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters that are member agencies of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, including CCIL. Food Depository pantries have seen an increase in demand of 33 percent in the past year, including many people who have never turned to a pantry before.

CCIL is seeking walkers and donors for this year’s Hunger Walk. To pledge your support, call Bob Joens at 773-435-8331 or Chris Wiens at 773-435-8385. Registration on the day of the event begins at 8 a.m., and step off is at 9:30 a.m. Free parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Look for the CCIL sign and join us on Saturday, June 20, 2009!
