Become a Sponsor

Boston’s largest community-building, cause-based event is something every organization can get behind.

Each year on the first Sunday in May, Project Bread hosts the Walk for Hunger, the oldest continual pledge walk in the country and the largest one-day fundraiser to alleviate statewide hunger. The 20-mile walk begins on the Boston Common and winds through Boston, Brookline, Newton, Watertown, and Cambridge before returning to the Boston Common and includes the participation of more than 40,000 participants, 2,000 volunteers and over 50,000 individual donors. 

If your organization wants to…

  • show its investment and pride in our community…
  • align itself with an organization that is addressing food security, sustainability, environmental responsibility, child wellness, and education…
  • conneect with passionate, engaged consumers who favor brands that share their values…
  • build team spirit within your organization… 

then you’ll want to be part of the 46th Walk for Hunger.

Make this Walk, your company’s Walk.
