Did You Know?

The CHOW® Walk is our community’s premiere event to fight hunger in Broome County. This year’s walk will look a little different—we’re hosting our first ever VIRTUAL walk. From October 1-9, we’re walking ¼ mile for the 1 out of 4 children in Broome County that don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

The CHOW® Walk has three important goals:

• To increase awareness about hunger in Broome County.
• To raise funds to help feed our neighbors in need.
• To exercise and have fun!

Hunger is more widespread in Broome County than many people realize, and during COVID-19 this need became even greater. Thanks to donors and businesses like you, CHOW® was able to meet needs in unprecedented ways:

• 4x the average amount of food was distributed between March and May.
• 1,000 home deliveries of food boxes were given to those unable to leave their homes.
• 10,000 emergency food boxes were delivered throughout the area.
• 1,200 gallons of milk were given away.

The fallout of COVID-19 remains, and we are expecting a return to this pace if cases rise in our area. Would you consider walking and making a special donation to fight hunger in Broome County? Click here to donate or begin fundraising today! https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/VirtualCHOWWalk2020
