WHEN
Thursday, April 11, 2013
TIME
3-6pm

Hunger Response International is holding its third annual WALK FOR THE RICE REASON in recognition of World Health Day.

The purpose is to raise awareness and support for global hunger; to acknowledge the importance of nutritional food needed to have healthy bodies and the fact that millions of people worldwide do not have access to it.

It is one of the seven global observance days that Hunger Response International has identified as their Have-A-Rice-Days.

Have-A-Rice-Days are opportunities to identify with the nearly one billion hungry people in our world by substituting one of our regular meals with a simple bowl of rice. While eating the meal, contemplate the fact that over 900 million people are hungry, many of them survive on that much food or less for an entire day, every day. Respond by giving a donation to help the hungry.This is a 10k or 5k Walk or Run around Mill Lake in Abbotsford

Start time is 3pm for warm up, First Walk Start Time is at 3:30 and last Walk Start Time is 6pm. Cost is one bag of rice for the local food bank, plus $25/person. Family rate is $60 (3 people or more). Team rate is $100 + pledges (5 people or more).

The Abbotsford Kiwanis Club will be onsite serving bowls of rice to walk participants upon the completion of their walk.
