Greater Chicago Food Depository hosts 29th annual Hunger Walk
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Nearly 15,000 people are coming out for a huge effort to help end hunger in the Chicagoland community.
The Greater Chicago Food Depository's 29th Annual Hunger Walk is a 5K walk starting at Soldier Field that raises funds for food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters in Cook County.
ABC 7 Eyewitness News is a sponsor of the event, and meteorologist Tracy Butler and anchor Hosea Sanders are part of it. They interviewed Bob Dolgan, vice president of communications of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Anna Eason-Horton, Food Pantry director at Chatham-Avalon Ministries, live during our Sunday morning newscast to explain how the funds raised at the walk help those in need.
