(Boston, MA – February 11, 2013) Project Bread’s Sara Balghonaim of Boston helped prepare healthy meals at the Pine Street Inn, a Boston-based homeless shelter and one of 430 community organizations funded by The Walk for Hunger. “It was great to get hands-on experience preparing a nutritious meal for those who are hungry,” said Sara, a communications intern for the 2013 Walk for Hunger. Project Bread is committed to providing people of all ages, cultures, and walks of life with reliable access to nutritious food—because the opposite of hungry is not simply full, but healthy. Registration is now open for the 45th Walk for Hunger on Sunday, May 5^th. For details, go to www.projectbread.org/Walk.
