The Hunger Gap Walkathon is a fundraising movement organised by The Food Bank Singapore to support its food programmes for communities in need. Through pledging distances to walk, individuals and corporates can walk to help bridge the hunger gap. Participants can garner support for their walk by getting supporters to donate funds tagged to them, hence, contributing to the cause collectively. Together, we can turn steps into food support.
No, anyone can join from anywhere, and supporters of walk particpants can support from anywhere as well. However, we are only able to provide the walk pack to addresses in Singapore.
Any individual or groups (families, organisations, institutions, etc) can join as long as each individual is at least 13 years old, in accordance with Strava’s minimum age limit to create an account with them.
