Hunger Walk 2011

Over 9,000 were in attendance at the Greater Chicago Food depository 26th annual Hunger Walk on 6/25/11. St Sylvester church in Logan Sq. sent a team of 26 to participate. It was a beautiful day to walk along the lake at Soldier Field. We were all very moved to see all the people, especially knowing we were part of the solution to stop hunger in Chicago, stated Dora Flores-Albert Advocate health care parish nurse at St. Sylvester and Healthy Hermosa coalition member.
