Registration begins 10:30 a.m.

Community Missions will be holding its 8th Annual "Feet or Famine: Walk For The Mission" Saturday, May 1, 2010. The walk will be 5 kilometers (about 3 miles) and registration begins at 10:30 a.m. and the walk at 11:15 a.m. at Whirlpool State Park. Our goal is to raise $8,000 to help end hunger and homelessness in Niagara Falls through the support of walkers and sponsors.

The money raised will support our Crisis Services and Onesimus House programs. In 2009, Crisis Services provided the community with over 67,000 free meals through the Community Kitchen, our soup kitchen. Onesimus House is a home for homeless youth, who have had to leave their homes due to situations of abuse, neglect, substance abuse or family dysfunction. Our homeless shelter provided 6,321 nights of care to 483 people. Proceeds will also benefit those who need food, clothing or shelter, those dealing with HIV/AIDS, or re-entry into the community from prison or jail.

We are asking the community to support this event by providing sponsorships, and/or walkers for the event. Below are links where you can get a copy of the flyer and walker registration form, and other information. Over the years people have participated as individuals or as teams from churches, schools, businesses, or community groups. No matter how you join in, Everyone is Welcome!

If you plan on walking again, please contact Katie Trombley by email or calling 716-285-3403 ext. 2225. Please help us to make this walk memorable, profitable, and fun. Your participation this year would be greatly appreciated.
