Annual Reaching-Out Walk Against Hunger marches on despite heavy rain
Walking in the rain! Non-profit organization Reaching-Out Community Services hosted its sixth annual Walk Against Hunger, an event to raise awareness of those in need within the community.
Boy and Cub Scouts of Pack and Troop 20 as well as students from P.S. 186 were among those who did the walk, beginning at Milestone Park, 18th Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets.
The meet up was followed by a one hour walk that started at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 4 throughout the neighborhood. Despite the pouring rain, the participants marched through, proudly wearing their blue Reaching-Out shirts and hoisting their troops’ and school’s banners. Music was also provided by radio station 92.3 AMP Radio. Councilmember Vincent Gentile also attended and announced that he will provide an additional $20,000 allocation to help hunger issues.
