W.A.R. (WALK AND RIDE) AGAINST
HUNGER
On Saturday, April 24,
2010, UPMC Health Plan & Rainbow Kitchen Community Services will host
the 6th annual W.A.R (Walk And Ride) Against Hunger. The W.A.R.
Against Hunger, which is Rainbow Kitchen’s major annual fundraising event, is
a walk/bicycle ride along the South Side Trail. Our goal is to
raise money in support of our efforts to eliminate hunger in our community,
while also raising participants’ awareness of the benefits of incorporating
health and wellness practices into their daily routine. A Health & Wellness Expo held during the event will
provide participants with information about healthy lifestyle choices and
practices.
Please support Rainbow
Kitchen’s efforts to help your neighbors in need … and join us in the W.A.R.
Against Hunger!
