March for Meals set for April 30

Council on Aging and Human Services will participate in the national 2011 March For Meals campaign April 30.

“We hope to continue to raise awareness about senior hunger in our community through this year’s fifth annual March for Meals,” said Scott Hallett, nutrition director. Each $5 raised will provide a meal to a homebound senior.

Participants will be encouraged to join the pledge march from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Colfax High School Track and the Pullman City Playfields. Registration is $10.

All money raised will remain in Whitman County and will be used to provide meals to homebound senior citizens and seniors who might otherwise be socially isolated.

Marchers are asked to check in beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Pledges and donations are welcomed for those unable to join in the march that day.

Businesses, organizations or individuals can participate by forming a team of marchers or through sponsorship
