Please support the Fellowship Place Steppers in the 2015 Walk Against Hunger, May 17, 2015, for the CT Food Bank.
On May 17, 2015, the Fellowship Place Steppers will participate in the 2015 Walk Against Hunger for the CT Food Bank, at the College Woods Pavilion at East Rock Park. An important partner in Fellowship Place’s Healthy Meals Initiative, the CT Food Bank has provided our agency with 21,177 lbs of food this past year, at a reduced cost. This partnership is vital to the success of Fellowship’s Healthy Meals Initiative, which offers our clients access to free nutritional meals daily, with menus that increase their intake of fruits, leafy greens, vegetables, & whole grains. The program also exposes them to a variety of educational programs to help them make healthy food choices.
The Fellowship Place Steppers are proud to support the CT Food Bank on May 17. Way to go Steppers!!! As a participating agency, Fellowship Place’s Healthy Meals Initiative will receive a portion of funds raised that day.
