Tri-County Hunger Walk 2025

Fight hunger this September by participating in the 2025 Tri-County Hunger Walk where we recognize there should be Food for All, Always!


Join our Partnership for a Healthy Community Healthy Eating, Active Living Priority Action Team as we raise awareness about hunger and support the hunger & health of our neighbors by donating healthy, shelf-stable food options to local pantries and walking for 30 minutes.

This year marks our fourth annual Tri-County Hunger Walk & our theme this year is Food for All, Always. Everyone can play a part in making sure that food isn't an impossible choice! One way you can take action around hunger needs in our community is joining our walk to rally around this need and enjoy time with friends & family taking some steps to end hunger! 

Returning to the walk this year will be vendors offering FREE resources and fun, family-friendly activities. NEW to the walk this year will be some food & beverage trucks for your enjoyment! (Bring your own cash to make a purchase.) Full list of vendors & trucks will be available ahead of the event on our facebook event.

Make sure to bring out the whole family to enjoy a fun morning out together! A playground is also located close to the walk and available as another kid activity.
