Do you want to be socially responsible?

Lynn Classical has formed a team with an objective to raise at least $500 for the Walk for Hunger on Sunday, May 2^nd. You can donate or register to walk here. www.projectbread.org/goto/lchs  just click on “Join My Team”. We are the Lynn Classical Rams.

Only a 20-mile walk that starts at the Boston Commons which you can walk at your own pace. Join 40,000+ walkers and represent Lynn Classical and walk for a good cause! Spread the word as anyone can register, friends, family, teachers, and co-workers. * This counts as community service.

On Sunday, May 2nd, Lynn Classical High School will be participating in Project Bread's 2010 Walk for Hunger. I hope that you will support us in our efforts to raise money to help end hunger in Massachusetts!

Why are we walking? We're walking because many Massachusetts families are seeing their monthly income stretched beyond capacity. They are forced to go without food in order to pay their rent, utility, and medical bills. The demand for emergency food has never been greater with pantries and meal programs supported by Project Bread serving 57.3 million meals last year alone. Hunger is not just an urban problem ? it exists in nearly every community throughout the state.

The money that we raise by walking as much as we can of the 20-mile route will directly help hungry people. Funds raised through the Walk support more than 400 emergency food programs in 135 communities statewide.

Who is hungry? Hunger affects more than 554,000 people in Massachusetts, including the state?s most vulnerable citizens ? children, the elderly, the disabled, and the unemployed.

Hunger also affects the working poor, who use more and more of their income to pay rent, heating oil, medical care, and childcare. Both children and the elderly are disproportionately represented at emergency food programs funded by Project Bread. In low-income communities throughout the state, one child in three lives in a family that struggles to put food on the table.

Please donate to our Walk to help us make a difference and reach our fundraising goal. Thank you for your support for Lynn Classical High School and of hungry people. 

Together we CAN make a difference!
