Pomona group's fundraiser will benefit region's hungry
Inland Valley Hope Partners will hold the 36th annual "Walk for the Hungary" on Oct. 11 at Chaffey High School, 1245 N. Euclid Ave., Ontario.
Proceeds from the benefit walk will go toward supporting the nonprofit's four food pantries, located in Pomona, Ontario, San Dimas and Claremont.
The pantries serve residents of eastern Los Angeles County and western San Bernardino County.
Collectively the pantries have provided food to more then 5,000 families per month this year, according to a statement from the organization.
The fundraising event will also help support the organization's family residential emergency shelter and its weekly farmers market in Pomona.
Registration for the walk will begin at noon with the 5K walk starting at 1 p.m.
In addition to the walk, family friendly activities will be offered, including face painting, a visit by Tremor, mascot for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, along with members of the Ontario Fire Department.
Additional information on the walk is available at www.hope-partners.com or by calling (909)622-3806, ext. 242 or 231.
