The Access Walk for Good Food (formerly the Access Hunger Walk), has changed its name because “hunger” can be hard to define and even harder to solve. While feeding people to address hunger is important, the goal of the Walk has been to fund organizations that are addressing root causes of food insecurity and poverty.
The name change more accurately reflects the mission of the organizations that receive funding from the Walk as we together seek to cultivate a Good Food System, namely, a system in which food that is healthy(provides nourishment and enables people to thrive), fair (no one along the production line was exploited during its creation), affordable (all people have access to it), and green (produced in a manner that is environmentally sustainable) is available to all.
Our goal this year is to raise $110,000, with an online goal of $40,000 (online donations do not reflect the total amount of funds raised). For information about this year’s recipient agencies, click here.
