5th Annual Hike to End Hunger

10/8/20 HIKE UPDATE: The Carl C. Anderson Sr. & Marie Jo Anderson Charitable Foundation have awarded RGFP a $20,000 match challenge grant so every donation will be matched dollar for dollar!

JOIN US for our 5th Annual Hike to End Hunger through October 31st or sooner - YOU choose the time and place to hike this year!

Our Hike to End Hunger may be spread far and wide due to the current COVID-19 crisis, but we will continue to build a positive force of hunger action advocates and come together virtually, however and wherever we can, to build a world where everyone has enough quality food to live a healthy life.

Hike, walk, roll, stroll, bike… solo or with your dog(s), family, and/or closest friends (in your cool 2020 Hike to End Hunger T-shirts if you so choose), take photos (you can tag us with #hiketoendhunger and #hiketoendhungerabq) and most importantly reduce and prevent food insecurity in Albuquerque by supporting Rio Grande Food Project's work because TOO MANY kids, adults and seniors are missing meals every month, every week...some even going DAYS without eating anything at all.

Here's How to Help:

1 - Register for a FREE TICKET to our event and be an advocate to end hunger! Be in the know about event updates, see photos of our supporters across the globe and learn facts about food insecurity issues.

2 - BUY A 2020 HIKE TEE to show you CARE that people are experiencing hunger and have taken action to help. Plus they are super cool! We'll let you know when they arrive!

3 - Simply click the blue DONATE button and support ending hunger.

4 - Find or choose your favorite FUNdraiser to donate to or follow this link to create your own Individual, Team, Family or Friend Fundraiser Page. YOU set the goal** (RGFP can feed an individual for an entire WEEK for only $10.45 so every dollar makes a BIG IMPACT.) If you need assistance, we can help!

**Every fundraiser who raises an initial $100 gets a FREE TEE!

5 - Invite your company to join the fun by becoming a SPONSOR or creating a Corporate Team. (Just set-up a FUNdraising page and put the company name in the First and Last name fields). Passionate employees are powerful advocates for change and we welcome new Hunger Action Advocates to join the fun!

6 - GO OUTSIDE and share your hike adventure on Social Media! Use this 2020 Hike to End Hunger Event link so your FB, Insta, Twitter or LinkedIn friends can join in the fun and/or choose to help. Don't forget to tag us at #hiketoendhunger and #hiketoendhungerabq too! Snap a photo of you enjoying the beautiful outdoors in whatever fashion you see fit. Post it on your social media, Personal or Team Fundraising page, and/or email it to rgfp@rgfp.org to post on our Hike to End Hunger Facebook event page.

7 - FEEL GOOD about being a force for positive change in someone's life and inviting others to help support our critical work!
