For 34 years Laura Walters, a member of Rotary, has been walking in Project Bread's Walk For Hunger! This year she is walking on behalf of the Brookline Food Pantry, specifically Brookline Thrives. Since 2020, Laura and her husband Jake, also a Rotary member, have been committed volunteers at Brookline Thrives as weekly shift leaders. In her own words, "we love the camaraderie and know our work is important to the 500 Brookline public school students who receive the weekend food bags. I see it as part of Brookline Rotary’s commitment to alleviate food insecurity." For more information, click Brookline Thrives.
This year the Brookline Food Pantry has teamed up with the Friends of Brookline Public Health to organize a team for the 2024 Walk For Hunger. The walk consists of a 5K walk around Boston Common on May 5th to take "strides towards a hunger free MA", and proceeds from Laura and the team's efforts will go to Brookline Thrives!
