Walk. Rally. Finish.
The Hunger Walk begins together, then gives every participant a month to finish the challenge on a schedule that works for them.
Kick off together
Meet at GWIM headquarters for the first two miles, streamed live on Facebook, with the sponsor banner leading the way.
Make it your walk
Finish three more miles when and where you like. Invite friends, family, and coworkers to sponsor your challenge.
Celebrate the good
Post your finish video on the GWIM website or Facebook page—and celebrate helping your own community.
Don’t live local, or can’t make it to the kickoff, and still want to participate?
Walk your five miles anytime, anywhere, through November 24. Post to Facebook and Instagram and tag GWIM along the way, then post to GWIM when you’ve made it.
