Newtonville resident to participate in Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger Courtesy of Project Bread NEWTONVILLE — On May 2, Erika Cain, of Newtonville, will lace up for Project Bread’s 53rd annual Walk for Hunger. She will be among thousands of virtual participants to walk in their own neighborhoods to raise more than $1 million to help get food to kids and families during the COVID-19 crisis. 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. “As the pandemic continues to take a financial toll on people and entire communities, we must do everything we can to help the one in six households struggling to afford food,” said Erin McAleer, CEO of Project Bread. “Participating in Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger is one way we can all do something real to make sure our neighbors can get food to meet their most basic need. Our community has shown we have the power to create meaningful change. This year it is especially important.”
