Walk for Hunger
This 5K walk each fall is a community response to hunger in the Allegheny Valley. Walkers from local churches, organizations and the community collect pledges to support the fight against hunger.
The walk begins at the Heights Plaza parking lot and proceeds through the streets of Natrona Heights then through Brackenridge and back through the Heights. The finish line is Faith Lutheran Church, where walkers share an after-walk celebration.
This year’s Walk was held on October 8, 2017 and started at 1:00 pm at the Heights Plaza in Natrona Heights. Walkers were asked to pick up a sponsor envelope in advance of the Walk and collect from friends and family for their efforts. Walkers who do not have sponsors were asked to contribute a $15 registration fee.
