6th Annual Ending Hunger Walking Tour

Brenda to start her walk on November 1!
For the last six years, Director Brenda Davis has done a walk to end hunger. Each of these years she has started out at one end of the state and made each step to the other so that many families, friends, seniors, and kids don't go hungry. 

About the walk

Crossroads Ministries and the Credit Union League

Brenda Davis is the Director of Crossroads Ministries & Resource Center. This is Old Town’s and surrounding areas local center for ending hunger.  For the last six years she has teamed up with the Credit Union League based in Westbrook.  The Credit Union League is an organization made up of credit unions from Maine.

November is Hunger Awareness Month.  For each of the past 5 years, Brenda walks all over the Pine Tree State during the month of November.  From Kittery to Fort Kent—she raises awareness about hunger in out state.  This year she will be visiting 69 credit unions and distributing donations to 51 food programs all over the state of Maine.

The donations come from the Credit Union League.  Brenda does the hard part, walking all over the State of Maine to distribute all 51 of them.  There are times when Brenda is walking alone.  She invites anyone to come out and join her while she is walking in your community. 

What you can do?

Go out into your community! On  the back of this brochure is a pledge form.  Please use this to solicit pledges for your own organization, local churches, businesses, family and friends. You may photo copy the pledge form and  distribute this to anyone interested in raising awareness about ending hunger.  This is a great opportunity to get support for your organization.  Please consider coming out and walking with Brenda when she comes to your town.  This year the route will be marked the night before she comes through your town.  Crossroads does ask for 10%  of total money raised to help support the walk.

If you have any questions call 827-1298 or 394-2530.
