Reply(1) WALTHAM, Mass. – On May 2, Waltham Fields Community Farm will be among thousands of virtual participants to lace up for Project Bread's 53rd annual Walk for Hunger. For the second consecutive year, the Waltham-based nonprofit will participate in the event through The Commonwealth Program which gives 60 percent of all funds raised by teams from likeminded organizations and agencies back to support their own anti-hunger programs, with the remaining 40 percent applied to the statewide anti-hunger effort. Last year, Project Bread awarded a nearly $5,550 grant to Waltham Fields Community Farm. Historically, the Walk for Hunger, the nation's oldest continual pledge walk, takes place the first Sunday of May on the Boston Common. The 2021 fundraiser will be the second event to be done virtually and is expected to raise more than $1 million to help get food to kids and families during the COVID-19 crisis.
